Finally, a job where I get a parking space!
(click any image for a larger version)
The picture to the left is the inside of our new North American Headquarters . . . aka, "the warehouse". The space is large (3500 sqft), raw, and pregnant with possibility. 
The picture to the right shows the "kitchen". Legend has it that the previous tenant made slushy mix in there. Personally, I hope not because it's kind of disgusting. 
You can see the inside of this part of the space in the picture on the left. The plan is for us to get a dumpster (delivery scheduled for Thursday) and tear the roof off the sucker -- literally. Once the ceiling is gone and everything else is removed from inside, we'll put a new ceiling on, put FRP on the walls, move some fixtures to suit us, 
and then coat the floor with a special kitchen floor sealant. That 400 square foot box will become the lab where we finish up recipe development and will then be our first commissary.
The other side of the building houses the corporate office (seen through the kitchen window here on the left). At first I had some misgivings about how small it is, but after firing up the air conditioner and dropping the temperature from 94 to 74 in 10 minutes I realized that compactness has some advantages.
More pictures later in the week as demolition begins.
