More Walls and Tin Ceiling Panels

Solid week of construction gains. The new metal stud walls are up and looking good. The fellas are beginning to install the dropped ceiling as well as the rough electrical. So by the end of next week we should have a roof over our heads and some plugs.

Cyrick and I are currently being booted out of the apartment and building we've lived in and managed for the past four months. It's a shame to lose free rent. Our new place is a lot smaller and looks like a homeless shelter compared to our digs in Pacific Heights. We've known about this for a month so it's not a shock but no one likes moving especially when we're trying to open Fat Angel. To add more angst to things, we are using a storage room turn wood shop in our old building that has ALL of the furnishings for FA. So on top of our personal effects in the apartment, we need to find another stashing place for an 11 foot back bar that's weighs 500lbs, a mess of old, wooden church pews, tons of wood chairs, tools, etc. Not to mention our lower backs have seen better days. Oh well, keep pushing forward. It's all about sacrificing for the dream.

We also got our tin ceiling panels in yesterday. They look great and will be placed in the cozy dining portion of our cafe and wine bar. It's going to make everything pop once they go up and the chandelier gets installed.
