Many items to review - Many trades to coordinate and as you'll see some trades really need handholding I am trying to find in the loan docs from DB if it says the restaurant must be open - even if it does I'm sure it does not say - you must serve alcohol - you can hire anyone to make a simple menu - you need to review the wording for the hotel bar though - that could be a issue although you can get a beer and wine licensee only - rather quickly The above is so your not stranded on Monday as we where to go full speed - Best now we stop communicating and deal through the lawyers Sent from my iPad On Nov 5, 2017, at 11:02 AM, David Mitchell <rnailtc wrote: 3 EFTA_R1_01739010 EFTA02570824  DEAR STEVE: MOST IMPORTANT TWO FACTS ARE: 1.WE NEED TO CLOSE OUT CONSTRUCTION AND GET A TCO SO THAT BOTH OF US ARE OFF ANY CONSTUCTION GUARANTEE FOR COMPLETION 2.
