Glad That Is Over

The time to replace building sewer has come; most of the floor sinks & floor drains don’t actually drain. I had never used a roadway walk behind saw before. Hopefully never again! The sonic force is nuts. Payment is by day plus millimeter of blade use. Thankfully the cuts were do-able in a day, and as no one wrote down the blade diameter there was no extra charge for any excessive use which may or may not have actually taken place. As far as I am concerned this tool can stay at the rental shop henceforth. The bathrooms are luckily too small for such a saw. The rental place has a handheld model which can’t be set down while running. Bent over indoors holding a gas motor spinning a disk which can cut through seemingly anything? At the moment I choose the tranquility of a jack hammer.

Looking east. Pizza oven covered in white tarp; ice machine in blue.
Looking east showing cutout to DW floor sink.
Looking west. Want the old forced air heater in the upper right corner?
Headed NE to the DW floor sink. That is the north wall.
Looking west. Red door is into mechanical room. To the left will be the walk in fridge and freezer.
The near white lines are for the triple sink floor sink; the lines going towards the covered pizza oven are for a handwashing sink.
Pictures or it didn’t happen.
An aqueous affair indeed. Tons of water. So much water. Gallons and gallons. Sopping wet. Glad it is shoulder season.
Those buckets and pail are for exhuming water from the not functioning floor sink.
Eventually the water seeped through the cuts, suggesting complete cuts which are good news for taking the debris out.
The walk in fridge & freezer location. Notice all the power cords are off the ground. The panel was off for the entire time and when cutting here the building main too.
The cut path also prepares for mitigating the damaged floor . The cut continues behind me to get to the Chocolate Studio.
Standing on something dry to turn the power back on.
Notice the framed doorway to the Chocolate Studio just to the left of the semi tarped pizza oven.
Missing tile and sloping floors make for adversity.

      Hi Carolyn,

      That question is on our minds as well! We are looking at mid June being a seemingly realistic possibility. The gap is finances for supplies. We are hoping people will go for the 110% return in Sage food offer. We have our first engraved brick recipient which of course is spectacular. To open with a fully operational kitchen and bar in June can happen if enough folks sign up for the win-win 110% offer.

      Best, Paul
