PIC: Construction in progress for front canopy. Check photos in future to see the completed structure. It will show the addition of stone covered lower columns and CHILI'S SIGNS.Woody & Greg have a full house of workers today. The crews worked all through the night and have continued through the morning. Everyone is hoping this first inspection will go well. With Christmas nearing, most of the men are ready to return to their homes for the holidays. The work inside ceases daily at 10:15 to 10:30 and the construction clean up begins. Crews can't work inside during business hours. They also can't work outdoors unless they are in places that won't disrupt the customers. This is diffucult as the construction of the front canopy begins. It is difficult to stop that work once it starts. Also, the men can see better in the daylight, so they work as long as possible. Drywall men are working on finishing hardware installation, removal of exterior benches, and the final steps of preparations for rope lighting so they can leave for the holidays. Mike has been working on the TO GO BAR counter & moving the dispensers in restrooms to the correct height. All in all, the carpenters, glass installers, stone mason, painters, electricians, landscapers, sign company, plumbers, stainless steel installer, and roofers managed to work side by side in harmony. The buzz all day is everyone wanting to know how the inspection went and how soon can they leave for the holidays. The inspection was ok. A bit of a punch list which means Woody and I won't be home for Christmas, but with only a few days left to turn over the restaurant, it was as we expected.
