At Hawksbill Brewing, we're at this stage of construction now where there are tons of loose ends to nail down. At times it looks like a real mess inside the building, but things are really starting to come together in there, and we know we are on the way to creating a great experience for our patrons.
One of the items that we had identified during our preliminary building inspection was the need for new doors that met occupancy code. With so much of the big stuff done, this was an item hanging out there to get taken care of - and now we have the new door installed, swinging out as it should, and with a panic bar in case it's needed for emergencies.We're working on retrofitting the rear door with similar equipment. That door will serve as our loading dock as well, but it will be part of the emergency egress plan and has to be outfitted the same way.
For decor, we continued with the barn siding theme in this area along with the board and batten paneling.
When this building first went up in the 19-teens, there weren't requirements anywhere near a strict as this, of course. So making the upgrades was absolutely essential to being able to open. It's great to be so close to finished with them all!
A final shot of the day - a look inside one of the new restrooms! They're perfectly serviceable, I guess that's the point - not that they're luxurious and you would want to spend anymore time in there than necessary. We did put a bright accent color in there on one of the walls, and added some vanity lighting to the mirror to add to the functionality.
So there you are. At the same time as this final bit of construction, activity on our license has picked up - we have the federal license in hand now, and will likely receive the state license by the time this posts. We're getting close to a grand opening announcement - keep an ear peeled for that over the next week or so!
