    Issues with Landlord

    There’s a saying about throwing good money after bad. This example is the definitive definition of that. Take the words of the Amityville horror and “GET OUT”… There is no good thing that will happen from here on out. Take bodegahwy’s advice and realize that you haven’t even begun to think of...

    purchasing an existing shop

    If I were that seller and I knew I was bluffing you on a 30%+ “unreported cash” income I would also beef up what I told you my cheese / flour consumption was in order to make the numbers jive. DO NOT believe him. If it were true get all invoices from his supplier from him. Obviously he has to...

    purchasing an existing shop

    Me thinks at best they’re doing 1mil. That would bring the food cost to 34%. I think a lot of people on this board would be happy with that food cost. If you’re alluding to a food cost of 25% (assuming $345 FC on $1.35k revenue) I think most people on this board would ask what you’re smoking…And...

    Bread sticks?

    In September I was in the Lake Como area. At a restaurant in Lecco (Soqquadro) they had pizza dough fried in balls about the size of a large grape. The best bread based dish I think I’ve had. It was served with hummus.

    HVAC Mini-Splits

    If your dining area has good separation from the heat producing kitchen don’t over size more than 25% in the dining area. It will actually be counterproductive and not cool well. The kitchen is a different story.

    Rules for playing CD's in our shop??

    If you sell the cd’s then you are also exempt as long as the cd you’re playing is for sale. I’ve seen a few shops with a dozen or so cd’s for sale that played the cd. There is a store around here that used to sell a lot of “hippie type” of clothing, accessories etc. They played Grateful Dead...

    anyone built there own building before?

    Jokergerm. You should be able to get PSF ballpark prices over coffee (or a pizza) from contractors in your area (for heated shell only). If they can’t throw a dart within $10-$20 PSF then you’re talking to the wrong contractor. I design homes and all of my builders will quote a price on a napkin...

    HOBART 60QT HOW DO I MOVE IT INTO BASEMENT?

    They are called riggers. Look up and see if any are in your area and get a price. This is what they do for a living and you may find out it is worth the investment.

    Frustrating trying to sell......

    I have been looking at all the listing in the southeastern MA area and western RI. I see that most of them have been on the market for pretty much the last 8 months I’ve been looking. They certainly don’t sell quickly. Let’s say 70% of them are listed for $1. The other 30% they seem to want...
