Transition Complete


We are now fully moved into our new home. The 18-wheeler with most of our things arrived from LA this morning in the midst of a snowstorm, but everything is accounted for and in it's proper place. Heading down south tomorrow morning to visit with my family through Christmas.
I have done as much as I could do in terms of gutting out the restaurant this week. The architect came by today, and had a look around. He seems like a nice guy, and was very positive about our ideas. We have several possible layouts for the dining portion of the space, and he didn't think any of them would pose too much of a problem for us....if we're willing to spend the money to make it happen. He will be drawing and measuring for the next couple of weeks.
I borrowed my friend, Danny's truck, and loaded 400 lbs of what I thought was aluminum into the back to sell for scrap metal. At 25 cents per pound, I had visions of saving dumpster space as well as $100 to give Samantha this evening. Unfortunately, I don't know my metals too well, and steel is only fetching about 4 cents a pound. I made her only $10.20, but the dumpster space is worth the effort, and I am now officially on vacation from a job that doesn't yet exist.
