It's The Little Things...updated

  DISCLAIMER: I am NOT placing blame on anyone here, just stating what's happening. I do get that stuff happens when you are building a 6,300 sf brewery from the ground up.


  Sometimes the little things matter. There are a bunch of things, that are waiting for other things. There are other things, that are not quite right yet.

  The missing siding clips finally arrived, so the siding can be mostly finished. I say "mostly" because the front siding can't go up until the rock face is done, & we have not seen that material yet.

  There is a wall inside the building that can't be built because the cooler is not here yet. Imagine putting the wall up, and then the cooler gets put together, and the wall is off by even an inch. Not good. So we wait.

  The sprinkler system (fire suppression) seems to be waiting for something. There are questions on how it's configured in the grain room. (update: can't be changed.)

  The electric panel boxes are going up in the brew house, but the wood behind them is not painted or covered.

  There is exposed wood around the garage door openings.  I hope there is a solution for that. (update: will be addressed) One of the rubber side seals on the rear garage door got damaged & will have to be replaced.

  One door needs to be adjusted. It's scraping on the sill plate.

    Ron's side project is getting there, but it's tough going in this heat. Imagine welding in a pole barn when it's nearly 100 degrees out.

  As many of you know, this is not your typical commercial building. It's a brewery, and there are things that have to be done differently. It's a full time job for Ron to keep up with, and address site issues. At the very least, questions have to be asked about how this or that is being done.

  I realize all these issues are going to be addressed. It's just frustrating, because Ron is frustrated.

  On the up side...the bathrooms are going to look great. The curbing in the parking lot is going to happen soon. The landscaper has been doing some preliminary work. The colors & materials inside the building are going to look awesome.

 When it's completed, it will be a great place to stop & have a couple pints, & visit with friends & co-workers.

  Until then...we wait.
