Watching Grass Grow

When people say something is like "Watching grass Grow" they have obviously built kitchens before and struggled through the tiling process. Today our walk in cool room, walk in freezer and walk in Savoury Refrigerator has been installed and the Tiling...well lets just say that they have completed about half of the kitchen so far. On the floor side of things, and the walls begin tomorrow Ducting for all the Air Con units has been delivered and our premises are awash with cooking equipment..So far so good, Slow start but fast end to the build, even if we are not opening until Mid 2014 at the earliest...Oh did I mention we have to build the rest of the building yet...ha ha ha...Stay tuned. my staff start to get their airline tickets this week and soon, very soon we will start to cook the food we are renowned for .....
 
 




Typical, four men, three stand around and only ONE LAYS TILES...its like watching GRASS GROW GUYS

It's called Progress

Within a day or so, we start to tile floors and walls.
It has taken arguably longer than I ever imagined and everyone seems to have an excuse why it has, but finally progress is showing signs of happening on a daily basis. All our equipment is now on the island and within 10 days should begin to be fitted where it will remain for the future.
While we will not be opening until early 2014 now, we will definitely have a kitchen full of chefs cooking up a daily storm within 2-3 weeks and thus by the time we open there SHOULD be no cause for faults.
We have food trailed over 110 cakes thus far and this week we begin sampling the more specialist items as well as our signature dish....you'll love it when you see it..
 
Here is a progressional group of pics to show from beginning to end how the kitchen is progressing. Tomorrow tiling starts
