journeyss

Today was a good day.. we are still searching for the right staffing mix, seems like its going to be an uphill challenge but we are pushing along swell.

Electric work should be done today.I am yet to see it.

Fumigation was done on Saturday but you can imagine we will need to do that very often..

We should be building a little fence tomorrow. Yippie.  exciting times  ahead of us.

I spent a good portion of today learning more about the art of BBQ and sharing the info with with our cook, to say the least there is a huge learning curve ahead of her. I am sure she is a trooper

The Bad Boys

if you cant beat them, create them.  The idea behind this grill was to make a hybrid of a smoker and a grill. we figured we needed something big enough to cook for a large party if need be

 the finishing could have been a whole lot better :) but the fundamentals are there and we are pressing ahead as we break them in

Hercules's Gate

so there was this gate, we had to move out of our spot. How heavy could it be you ask? thats exactly my thought.

Initially we had a lot of back and fourth, whose responsibility it was to move the gates.  After we agreed it was the management, a few times we came back and the gates weren't moved. Horrible  eye sore so i decided to take matters into my hands at most we need about 4 folks to move the gates.  (Wish i took more pictures), the first guys who came said they wanted to be paid about n15,000 to move the gates the length of a football field. long story short another crew of guys came and they agreed to about 1k per person and the count went from 4 to 7 guys and they still struggled with the gate.

who woulda thunk it

In trying to realize this dream, we tried creative solutions to a very difficult problem.  I can't count how many times i drove pass this spot and nothing clicked, absolutely nothing. After being ignored and  1st 2nd  and 3rd  options were not looking good.  we had to start scouting all over again and this is the diamond in the rough we found

 nothing too fancy on the inside

 outside literally became a dumping ground. 

Ugly Duckling

Thank God for inefficiencies and red tapes, this was the location we initially considered and talks were already progressing in securing the spot. Now through the back and fourth communication decreased and we decided it was best to go back to the drawing board and see how we can refine the plan and make the location work for us.
