The meeting for the Beeshrine Lounge, a class B beer-wine liquor 17 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,480 seven-day license request to offer the premises which was then included or 18 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:27,480 approved in December of 2023 at 1706 Philadelphia Avenue, Ocean City, Maryland. 19 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:33,480 Christina, would perhaps be standing in for Mr. Cropper, representing the Beeshrine Lounge. 20 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,480 Real quick, uh, in front, this will be testimony, so if you're going to testify, 21 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,480 please stand and raise your right hand. If you saw me swear, affirm it, 22 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,480 and the penalties occurred, here's the following testimony. 23 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:44,480 You're about to give us the truth. 24 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,480 I'm sure you know the truth. 25 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:46,480 I know. 26 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,480 Could you give your name and address for the court reporter? 27 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:55,480 Peter Lines, 11604, Coastal Highway, Unit 1010, Ocean City, Maryland, 21842. 28 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,480 Thank you. 29 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,480 Congratulations. 30 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,480 Thank you. 31 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,480 All right. 32 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:05,480 So, um, thank you. So my boss, Mr. Cropper, um, had sent in emails of communication 33 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:11,480 to Ms. Bain to withdrawal, um, I guess the hearing that was scheduled. 34 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,480 Um, we are so moving forward, obviously, with the Beeshrine Lounge concept. 35 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,480 Um, but as you, most of you know, in Ocean City, things take time. 36 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,480 Um, there are many different processes that we've, hurdles that we've hit 37 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:30,480 between architectural, the town, building permits, fire marshal, health department. 38 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,480 So it's kind of in stages. Um, parking was our biggest issue. 39 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,480 Um, to establish the non-conformity we had to not be sitting idle. 40 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,480 Um, so that the, um, establishment was opened up, 41 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,480 sold some food without the need for the liquor license. 42 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,480 Um, I think Mr. Cropper initially thought, 43 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,480 well, the liquor license is the thing that will really help us. 44 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,480 But that's behind us now. 45 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,480 We've established that, um, we still have that non-conformity that's existing. 46 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,480 So we are just in the development phase to keep going forward. 47 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,480 That's kind of the status of it, unless you have any questions for us. 48 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,480 But that is still our goal. 49 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,480 I saw the renderings today. 50 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,480 It's a beautiful building. 51 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,480 So, what we approved, this board approved in September of 2023. 52 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,480 It seemed like a long time ago. 53 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,480 Has that changed along the way? 54 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:25,480 Or is it the exact same concept that some of us saw anyway in 2023? 55 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,480 The exact same concept. 56 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,480 I think the concern was, I mean, you're wrong. 57 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,480 No, no, it's okay. 58 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,480 I think what the concern was, was the bistro kind of just selling food. 59 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,480 Um, just billing a need. 60 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,480 But that was again to deal with the ocean city and the non-conformity. 61 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,480 That is behind us. 62 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,480 We are just pushing full steam ahead to get into the bistro now. 63 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,480 But when you build it out, it'll be as presented previously. 64 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,480 Yes. 65 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,480 Yes. 66 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,480 Um, yes. 67 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,480 There were some design issues. 68 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,480 I guess we're still working with the town. 69 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,480 Yes. 70 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,480 So the biggest setback was parking. 71 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,480 So we were on track back in November. 72 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,480 Um, you know, everything was good. 73 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,480 And then they kind of pulled it back. 74 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,480 It was like right around December-ish when we started talking back with Mr. 75 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,480 Vendor and Bill to look at the parking issue. 76 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,480 Even though we were kind of going in the right direction, 77 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,480 the biggest concern was the courtyard enclosure with that glass house I showed you guys. 78 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,480 So I always had a plan B to that. 79 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,480 And so we are hitting the plan B. 80 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,480 So I have to make that enclosure a little smaller for them, um, 81 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,480 in order for us to get to the parking, 82 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,480 which we've kind of come to an agreement with. 83 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,480 And so now that, that's been a huge, we've met with them multiple times 84 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,480 to kind of get through that part. 85 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,480 That's what delayed all this to be honest with you. 86 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,480 That's why we're here. 87 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,480 Um, and then, you know, um, 88 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,480 we wanted to protect the non-conforming all costs, 89 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,480 which we've achieved. 90 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,480 We got a business license. 91 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,480 We've operated. 92 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,480 I've sold land relief hot dogs. 93 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,480 Um, that's how dogs know the city. 94 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,480 Um, and I, you know, that was the biggest thing. 95 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,480 I didn't want to have any confusion with liquor licensing 96 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,480 what we're doing. 97 00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,480 That is still the goal. 98 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,480 That's all right. 99 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,480 And back when you were here in 2023, 100 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,480 if my memory is correct, 101 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,480 I think it might be. 102 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,480 You were leasing the facility at that point. 103 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,480 It's, we own that. 104 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,480 You own it now. 105 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:10,480 Yes. 106 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,480 But then you were leasing it. 107 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,480 Yeah. 108 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,480 That's true. 109 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,480 That's right. 110 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,480 So you've purchased that location. 111 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,480 Yeah. 112 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:17,480 And you're going to be doing some major improvements 113 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:18,480 to that office. 114 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,480 Some serious improvements. 115 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,480 We hope to make you proud of that. 116 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,480 Maybe you've been in there before. 117 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,480 It was remote. 118 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,480 Uh, as a, as a young person, 119 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,480 I haven't been there before. 120 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,480 That's why Mr. Coughlin is here. 121 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,480 No comment. 122 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,480 It's okay. 123 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,480 He might have been with me. 124 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,480 You never know. 125 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,480 But yeah. 126 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,480 So I think it's, it's, it's just, 127 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,480 it's things that are taking time, 128 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,480 but we are, we are pushing ahead. 129 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,480 They've met several times this summer. 130 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,480 I know. 131 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,480 So as far as our records go, 132 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,480 the ownership is the same? 133 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,480 Yes. 134 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,480 Yes. 135 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,480 Nothing's changed. 136 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,480 Nothing's changed. 137 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,480 Okay. 138 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,480 And then, uh, 139 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,480 so the sales tax and all that stuff 140 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,480 is getting taken care of. 141 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,480 From my life, 142 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,480 I think there was some confusion 143 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,480 about, um, a company 144 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,480 that has three separate licenses. 145 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,480 License one, two, and three, 146 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,480 whether or not three, 147 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:09,480 three, I guess, 148 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,480 the numbers could be issued, 149 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,480 but I think Mr. Coughlin was working on that. 150 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,480 Okay. 151 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,480 So there's not going to be any activity 152 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,480 at the location until it's completely finished, 153 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,480 other than what you did. 154 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:20,480 Yes. 155 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,480 That's correct. 156 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,480 Code of conformity. 157 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,480 Yeah. 158 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,480 So it's going to sit there. 159 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,480 And how long do you think this will be till it's, 160 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,480 because it's been 2023. 161 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,480 And I realized a lot of things happening, 162 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,480 but I mean, 163 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,480 it's improved the sitting out there for quite a while. 164 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,480 It's not a lot to happen. 165 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,480 I have a big mortgage. 166 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,480 So it's my 911 to get this thing up and running 167 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,480 and to feed itself. 168 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,480 So right now, um, 169 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,480 you know, we still have to finalize things to, 170 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,480 um, you know, to get our permits. 171 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,480 So where our focus is to 172 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,480 go there a hundred miles an hour. 173 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,480 And as soon as they say AP, 174 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,480 they have our blessing. 175 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,480 Here's our permit. 176 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:54,480 We've already addressed the place 177 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,480 that we've opened up, for example, 178 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,480 which is actually going to have the A-frame, 179 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,480 which is the south side of the building. 180 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,480 That is actually going to be one of the few places 181 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:03,480 in that whole entire property 182 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,480 that's going to stay pretty much similar 183 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,480 to what it looks like. 184 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:07,480 So we've already got health, 185 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,480 you know, 186 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,480 a fire marshal health department approval 187 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,480 because we're operating in that space. 188 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,480 So we're progressing towards that. 189 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,480 Um, now the rest of it is to get the final details. 190 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,480 It's really, 191 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:18,480 everything is good. 192 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,480 It's really about that class structure to be finalized. 193 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,480 And then we should be golden. 194 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,480 Okay. 195 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,480 I mean, you brought it up. 196 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,480 You say you have a large mortgage. 197

everything they needed to do to meet their 220 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,480 non-compagny by selling hot dogs, 221 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,480 which doesn't affect us. 222 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,480 I know. 223 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,480 They're for a long long time. 224 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:07,480 They're big. 225 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,480 Like you're. 226 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,480 You're tiny. 227 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,480 Like you could fit in between that right there. 228 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,480 Pretty big. 229 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,480 Just to clarify, 230 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,480 the atrium that you referred to is option one, 231 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,480 option two. 232 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,480 Was that covered in the original? 233 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,480 I believe it was in the 2023. 234 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,680 there was but if there's changes it's got to come back I'm just I just we want to 235 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,560 be clear there's been a lot of moving here and we will address that right now 236 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,480 that's the part I know I know that that is our goal now is to get that fine 237 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,280 tune with Mr. Bender you know to make sure we get their buses for the parking 238 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,360 thing so we we've kind of pressed on and now the architect has already put 239 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,080 something in the place we want to make sure we get approval before I bring 240 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,520 it back to you because we may have to open up that courtyard we have to 241 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,400 open up that courier for them so I will present that you know with you guys we 242 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:58,720 can make those changes that's that's where we are right now Mr. Cropper's and 243 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:08,960 all the sales tax stuff and all that stuff's gonna get fixed we just I'm 244 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,640 gonna speak for Miss Payne it's been a moving ball and I think we're used to 245 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:20,240 having it set documented properly I know you know this so we want to make sure 246 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:29,280 it's proper and correct and not all these moving parts yes we do need a 247 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:34,440 clarification because Mr. Cropper did not address it once the email changes 248 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:39,760 started with the the new the bistro and lounge LLC being created and being 249 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,520 issued a retail sales tax number he indicated that as the entity or the 250 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,400 tenant which is going which is going in the structure but that is not the LLC 251 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:55,880 that was applied for back in 2023 as the entity so that needs to be clarified 252 00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:01,780 as to who the tenant is owners of course would have to be the same because of 253 00:10:01,780 --> 00:10:05,960 the way that the multiple licensing occurs throughout the county and with 254 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:12,760 these three locations that Mr. Elias has so there's still not a clarification on 255 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:18,640 the bistro and lounge LLC why was it created and issued a retail sales tax 256 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,160 number and what is his affiliation to this address which it was issued to 257 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:28,760 this physical address so if that is the case then I explained to Mr. Cropper 258 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:34,200 that technically it has to go through a transfer because the LLC which had 259 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:40,600 applied is not the same so you would have to follow through with the transfer 260 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:46,800 of ownership between the tentatively approved seven stars hospitality of OC 261 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,760 LLC to the bistro and lounge LLC if that's the case and I'm assuming it is 262 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,200 because that when you look at the physical addresses the retail sales 263 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,680 tax number was issued for this physical address so there's a 264 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,320 definite I can get that clarification for you that might have been a mistake on 265 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,080 Mr. Cropper's part I think the initial concept though was to have the multiple 266 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,880 reasons just the original name and the original approach seven circle 267 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,560 liquor license that's our liquor license for sure that belongs to Mr. 268 00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:22,920 Singh and myself and the bistro lounge was the operating entity for that was 269 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,600 going to be wasn't a BBA was an LLC are you saying the bistro lounge owns the 270 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:32,400 real estate the bistro lounge holding owns the real estate Bistro lounge LLC 271 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,320 was going to be the operational entity and seven star both is a liquor license 272 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,560 okay four seven stars correct yes we would need the management agreement between 273 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:49,640 the two entities if that's the case so what I'd like to clarify to you Mr. 274 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,600 lies today that this license won't get issued until all these conditions have 275 00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:01,200 been rectified 100% cleared and this pain and maybe skip doing inspection on your 276 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:07,160 location so he's been there with me a lot of things have changed I just I want to 277 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:12,640 be clipped miss Piotowski will indicate to you what we're saying as a board you 278 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,200 can have all these moving pieces you need to be within your application that 279 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,000 was approved or you need to come back here come back for your transfer 280 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,960 we're here we come every month and certainly Mr. Fisher can tell you that 281 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:39,640 too we're here it's got to be right it can't be willy-nilly okay yeah so you 282 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,200 mentioned that I mean while you're here I mean tell us you've got a couple other 283 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,400 venue things going on and there you running those come see me yeah I'm 284 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,040 only official here 285 00:12:52,200 --> 00:13:01,640 and you're under oath yeah yeah I'm doing you know what I do best you know I was 286 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,480 always in consulting with restaurants and they used to leave a lot of that 287 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,840 before I even came here back in New York and I'm doing the same thing if 288 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:13,160 you are confiding in like my you know I'm at 1099 you know at oyster and 289 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,840 scales and we just opened up the operation help them kind of guide 290 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:21,360 them in operations and that's that's what we've been doing we opened up 30 days 291 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:26,560 ago and so there's a lot of success there's the old marina deck and so we're 292 00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:31,040 excited to have that property and then also the bakery bainty bakery as well 293 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:37,440 too it's it was you know there's but you're helping them as I'm at 1099 right 294 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:43,880 yeah so when you're doing this type of operation consulting is very intimate 295 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,560 and it's very involved to make sure that the team can kind of get up and running 296 00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:51,320 to maintain the culture and the discipline and the steps of service so 297 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,720 those are things that kind of give me in and so I put myself away and make sure 298 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,320 that team has it going that's the plan you know it's what we've been doing 299 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,480 now so it's been very very busy doing those things and then there's a couple 300 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,880 things you know I'm trying to get over my head around as well too so it's 301 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,040 been a blessing she'll keep you straight please 302 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,440 yeah well we got you here got gap Tom captive saying it's either coming on 303 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:34,120 against you and everyone else I mean yes so that's my head is there now because we 304 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:40,600 are that building is pretty much again building structure the biggest part is 305 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,480 done the hardest part was getting the back of the building built which was 306 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:51,880 approved and so honestly because I had to pivot to handle the overwhelming 307 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,040 response for the properties I was involved with in Ocean City because of 308 00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:01,640 the season my head was there because I was low hanging fruit and 309 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,340 We had some things to work through, which we've done with, you know, the county for that back building. 310 00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:10,700 So my head's there, I'm trying to get that done this fall. 311 00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:20,640 You know, opened up this fall, and then at the same time get our permits for, you know, the bistro, and get that rolling, and come back to you, and get this thing rolling. 312 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,660 That's where my head is right now, good stuff, okay, yeah. 313 00:15:23,660 --> 00:15:26,580 What is on the back of that building, on Sand and Cedar? 314 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,540 So that's that concrete pad? 315 00:15:28,540 --> 00:15:29,040 Yes. 316 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:40,640 That's the back of the house. That was our, that's where our walk-ins are going to be in office space and dry storage, so it's already been approved, and now we just got to get it built, you know. 317 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,140 I saw the pad, but I didn't realize that you were extending the back of that building out. 318 00:15:45,140 --> 00:15:51,640 Yeah, there was, I wish I had a hidden camera with me on this project. I could do a documentary on HBO. 319 00:15:51,640 --> 00:16:03,900 There's a lot of like crazy things that we've worked through, but the best thing is, like for God's grace, we were able to build this structure in the back, which would have disrupted this whole type of project, thanks to the owner of the space. 320 00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:11,900 He's allowed us to do that so we can function without that space that can't function, you know, so he's been gracious enough to allow us to do it, and now we've just got to build it. 321 00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:18,400 The support beams are actually laying on top of the concrete pad right now, that needs to be installed, and get that building erect, and get it rolling. 322 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,700 Okay, thank you. 323 00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:22,700 Do you need anything else? 324 00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:24,700 No, no problem. 325 00:16:24,700 --> 00:16:26,700 We've got a lot going on. 326 00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:28,700 Just another day of paradise. 327 00:16:28,700 --> 00:16:30,700 Okay, hearing closed. 328 00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:32,700 Thank you guys. 329 00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:34,700 Okay, thank you.
