April 2004 It started with the first lumber delivery on April 1st (no fooling), then came the rain, then more rain and again more rain. Despite all that, the guys at Millville Restoration were still able to meet all of our target dates. As of this newsletter I am happy to report that the entire basement and first floor of the new addition have been completed. The first floor includes a spacious kitchen, two restrooms and a very nice size waiting area and hostess station. The basement comes complete with a 20 x 10 walk in cold room (with drainage floor) which will house our six 9bbl serving tanks (with plenty of room for expansion). All of this was completed despite 8 rain days, one incompetent steel manufacturer, opening day of fishing season (the guys at Millville are big fisherman), and hundreds of interruptions by Scott and I. With that said, if any of our readers are ever looking for a great reliable building / roofing / concrete company, give us a call and we will be happy to refer them. Progress Report * 20 x 10 Cold room completed * First level of new addition completed * Brewery framing completed - awaiting delivery of glass week of 5/3 * Cement pad for Glycol chiller and 3 AC units completed * Wainscoting in existing pub/tavern area completed * We also purchased some key kitchen equipment this month New pictures of all the progress will be posted to the website ( www.cambridgebrewhouse.com ) later today, also make sure you take advantage of the "Suggestions" area of the site. Our chefs are awaiting your ideas. In other news June 12, 2004 The Cambridge House will be participating in the "Celebrate Granby in the Park" event to be held at Salmon Brook Park in Granby, CT.
