Episode 578 – When To Quit, When To Adjust

Really? But being in the zone, we got one of those five o'clock emails two days ago from Hilton that adds to that anxiety a little bit.

So it's perception, right? You get an email back from their chief engineer who's looking at your floor plan and he goes, this will do what it says it needs to do.

We have six little adjustments.

It should be an easy fix while they're in their design period.

But we're not in our design period.

We're in our engineering phase.

So six little things to change aren't really things that we can change super well.

So before you quit or you pivot, you have to send that to your architect.

And so as my head's about to explode and I'm sitting here and I'm going, fuck, how bad is this going to fuck us? because we're like a week and a half away from having bid sets, meaning the engineers have set the walls and their thing, and they're running the pipes to get to the toilets.

And three of the things they wanted were bathrooms relocated or dedicated.

It couldn't be unisex.

It had to be a male and female.

They wanted us to add a bathroom, add a sink and like some things like that, but just little, some little stuff.

So send it to them.

I said, before I freak out, I'm going to, we saw here, I'm going to let the, Architect, look at what the things are.

And he'll tell me how bad this really is.

Five of the six, not a problem.

The sixth one is adding a bathroom that we don't really have the space for because we had it dedicated.

So they're asking for a dedicated bathroom for the pool area.

Well, we have an outside bar pool area.

Then it's only going to be open when the restaurant or the bar is only open when the pool is open.

And we had them set up as unisex.

So I think that they're going to be able to work through that or we're going to be able to file for a waiver.

But it was one of those things that made you think, oh, shit, did we just screw ourself by getting too far ahead? But the other perception of that is they've approved the site as of now just by a main, like just a cursory overview.

Yeah.
