Saturday's a regular work day for the crew

Last week the crew decided that they would like to work Saturdays. That was fine with me because we are finally getting to the point where we need to get a lot done in a relatively short time. The plumber is coming on Monday. Hopefully, we can start enclosing the ceiling after they replace the drain pipes for the upstairs toilet and sink.
I picked up two hand sinks at Harwill. They are knee operated sinks so the user doesn't have to touch the on-off valves to activate the water. I also purchased a 10 burner vulcan gas range with two ovens. The seller will hold onto it for a month so I don't have to put it into Miami Rice's barn.
Rusty came by and gave me additional advice on reinforcing the ceiling of the kitchen so that it will support 2,000 pounds of ventilation/fire control equipment.
I've also started to get quotes for signage. I prefer the hand carved look. I think that the signs are going to run around $2,500 for all 3.
