This week and next

  • Fri, Feb 5Drywall finished and sanded. Kofi sweeps out so the floor can go down on a clean slab.
  • Mon, Feb 8 – Thu, Feb 11Rhys lays the floor. Nobody else on site while the adhesive cures.
  • Fri, Feb 12Painting starts, and Aylin finishes the counter in her workshop.

Needed from Handbell

  • By Mon, Feb 8Paint colors confirmed, so the paint is on site before Friday.
  • By Fri, Feb 12Sign artwork approved. The sign maker needs two weeks before it goes up on Mar 1.
  • By Mon, Mar 1Four baristas hired, ready to train from Tue, Mar 9.
  • DoneHealth inspection booked for Mon, Mar 8.

What sets the date

Drywall, flooring, paint, counter, lights and faucets, then equipment run back to back from Feb 1 to Mar 4. A day lost on any of them moves everything after it.

The plan has two spare days: Wed, Mar 10 and Thu, Mar 11, between the punch list and the soft opening. The counter has its own slack and can finish up to three working days late off site.

Changed since last week. Electrical rough-in finished on Wed, Jan 27, two days later than first planned, because the hood duct needed a new route. The inspection still passed on Fri, Jan 29, so nothing after it moved.

Who's who. Imogen Reyes, project manager · Kofi Mensah, site lead and carpentry · Marta Silva, plumbing · Dev Malhotra, electrical · Aylin Demir, millwork · Rhys Pugh, floors and paint · Tunde Adeyemi, owner of Handbell Coffee.
