It looks like it may open soon.....

Many folks stop me and ask, will you be opening soon?  Some ask, "how many weeks?", some "will it be before school lets out?", others query - "it's going so quickly, surely you will be open soon!?!"

The inside scoop is this:
turns out that the 'big stuff' - basement, walls and roof are really the fast and easy to get done quickly items.  
we are now working on the 'fine stuff' - plumbing, electrics, heat, ventilation and air conditioning. This work will be done tying in the original structure to the new and it requires much knowledge, skill, patience and time.
We also found an unusual alignment of support in one area which required us to install additional beams -- and that took time.

So, we are moving along very well on all fronts.  The workers are there 6 and sometimes 7 days a week.  The commitment of each one of them to doing a fine job for the blue rooster is 100% and we are thrilled with the progress and the outlook.

However, we will not be opening in a couple of weeks, nor before school lets out, nor will it be soon because the frame is up.

Our estimation still holds that we will be opening in late summer.  Don't forget to place your date for our opening in the contest (go to website:  www.blueroosterbakery.com ) to win a $50.00 gift certificate.

Thanks to each and everyone of you who inquires and follows our progress.  It is so encouraging and we wish to move as quickly as possible -- while maintaining the quality of work that each of you deserves from the blue rooster!

Whenever you do open, it will be great for those of in and around Cranbury as well as for visitors from farther away. I am very glad to see an enterprise such as yours is described making its way here. I can't wait!
