So we are hard at work trying to meet with our design layout guy, Tom Palm, to get our electrical, plumbing, and elevations put to paper to get those approved at the state level. Once this is completed and submitted with a signature from everyone involved (and God knows who else) then it is a 3 week waiting process... or IS it? No, for a mere $CrazySum.00 we can have the application done and ready to build in 24 hours! While it is a lot of money we have to factor what is the cost of not being open for 20 additional days. But as someone who evaluates work and effectiveness of systems and people I have to ask two questions: 1. what is the difference between this "expediated process" and a "bribe"?; 2. If you CAN do it 24 hours why wouldn't you just cut the waiting time on a standard one? I mean, the difference between 1 full day and 3 full weeks is not a thin line but 2,000%+. Jus' sayin'.
Lastly, hire those expeditors, people. They are worth it.
