Hastings update

Since the last update, our previous plans for the entrance way got the kaibosh. Luckily John had a plan B ready to go in his back pocket. In retrospect, we all prefer it to the previous design. It's more open and inviting. This ramp means less concrete work, and the front facade has minimal changes to it with this plan. The large windows remain, which we all like.

The planning process is now coming to an end. All drawings are done, with one final kitchen ventilation drawing to be stamped. That took a little longer than expected, but it also gave us some time to line up some trades and get additional quotes. Now we're waiting on a final stamp from the mechanical engineer, after at which point we will submit all of the plans to the city, and then wait for approval.

The last little bit of demolition has been going on, and we've been able to salvage some odds and ends that will come in handy. Next up is the security upgrades, concrete coring, concrete pouring and then roofing.
