Hammer Time

30 plus hours later, Jake and the Jackhammer finish going medieval on the future trench drain.  How does one get carpal tunnel syndrome in one week?  See photo.  Also please note:  use of mask and sound blocking ear muffs.  Otherwise the question would have read:  How does one get carpal tunnel syndrome, go deaf and develop lung problems in one week?  Thanks OSHA!  One out of three ain’t bad.

Most of the major gutting at the warehouse is done.  There are only a few things left to clean up before some of the bigger projects can get going.  

The plans for the tasting room/ brewery are being finalized this week and we are in the process of scheduling a second meeting with the city.  The good thing is during our first meeting it was reported to me by my 6’8 architect Shamus Bair that they seemed really excited about another micro-brewery opening in St. Louis.  Seems like having a 6’8 architect nicknamed “Crusher” is working out for us.  If all goes well, we will start building the tasting room and moving as quick as possible on the exterior of the building. 

We are working hard on our beers and are hoping soon to move our test brewery from a basement to the warehouse at Holt (goal of November 1st).  At that point, you will find me there almost all the time for the next 7 - 10 years.  Sounds like a sentencing, any smart man would accept.  Thanks, Judge.
