We have been trying like the dickens to get the insurance company to come up with the final payment to finish the Flapjacks building. So we finally get him on the phone to arrange the payment. Now, mind you, with my luck and or the wrath of the Restaurant Gods, you know something would come up. So this guy who is going to arrange this payment has a problem. He lives in South Carolina and has to evacuate from hurricane Florence. He said, “don’t worry” when he can finally get to a safe place he could finish the request for funds. I am just thinking, that this poor guy has to rely on some luck, and he is doing something for me. I just hope the rest of his family is not with him.
We are progressing with the building and should have everything done by the end of this month. If the final building and health inspections go as planned we should open about 10 days after that. On the other hand if nobody ever hears again from our friend above, well then, who knows?
Saturday nights have been a little slow so we will be open Wed thru Fri nights for the next 2 weeks at the Country Waffles on Sunrise.
Sept 10 - 16
Ok, so I am trying to catch a lizard in the house before my wife sees it (for some reason she doesn’t like reptiles in the home), when all of a sudden, it completely disappears. Unfortunately, there is only one place for it to be and that is up my pant leg. Just then everyone comes in the front door. Here is the problem, where ever I drop my pants the lizard will scurry away. So what do you do? I leave the rest up to your imagination.
Everyone, this whole mess of trying to rebuild FlapJacks is such a mess it is beyond unbelievable. We are getting close but there is so much to do and the insurance money still has not arrived. Stress has been replaced with sheer panic, however, we are making progress. In two weeks we should have everything pretty much done. I will be broke, but we should be close. The inspections of course will probably take forever so I don’t want to set a date yet, but I have included a photo to give you an idea of how things are coming along. We will continue to serve dinner Wednesday through Saturday for a while longer at Country Waffles, hoping we finally have some good luck.
