With city inspections around the corner, GGC and crew are moving fast to finish out. Little glitches and problems creep up here and there, but with no time to spare we have to troubleshoot and move on. A couple small struggles are keeping us on our toes. Trims on the main lighting for our front counter were not installed properly, which is a headache for the electricians as well as tapers and painters. Finishing touches to window signage need to be completed before counters get in place and we no longer have access.

The tilers are in the space tonight, but their tile didn't arrive in shipment - so they are stuck, attempting to make a good situation out of a missed opportunity to get done.

Our first install of banquettes and tables goes down tomorrow. That will really give us a sense of the space, more than anything else so far.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Frontera team is getting ready to take over the space. Managers are hiring, getting schedules together and ordering all we need to outfit the restaurant.

Opening is on the horizon, with a lot of work, little and big, before we get there.
