Today we were able to talk and work with the Patavina sisters again. We went over to Faraway in Cambridge and began working the space. It has been interesting to see how the Patavina sisters are able to run their business after our last interview when they explained the difficulties involved with starting a restaurant. One of the biggest is the real estate prices are incredibly high in Cambridge which means that turning a space intro a restaurant becomes very challenging and requires some creativity to make the best use of the space. To help out we were there to setup the establishment and help with revising layouts as the restaurant begins to take shape. One facet of layout I had not thought of was the distribution of people, prices, and time. If there ends up not being enough space for tables and the number needs to be reduced, that will in turn change the prices of food, and the pace of the kitchen.
After returning to the House of Carey, we went about preparing ourselves for a few upcoming projects. One we picked up lobster bait in anticipation of us dropping our traps which should be in the next few days. A bigger project today however was doing yard work to make space for the bee boxes. This included clearing out space, flattening it, and trimming foliage to make sure there is enough sunlight reaching the boxes. To finish off the day we spoke with Skip Bennett to schedule a trip of Island Creek Oyster Farms for the next day.
Today’s Hours: 5 Hour
Commuting: 2 Hours
Patavina Sisters: 1 Hour
Correspondence: .5
Prepping Yard Space: 1 Hour
