Hey OP, you know what adds class to any donut store? A High Life pool table lamp so impregnated with cigarette smoke that even the clear parts have turned also turned beige.

Nah, you gotta get one of those Schlitz signs with the demonic bull. Nothing intimidates people into buying more donuts like a red-eyed steer glowering at them from above a grimy window covered with plywood.

Real talk the paving question is a tough one because retention pond. I’m going to dump a bunch of gravel there to set a 20’ conex box and a dumpster for construction use. If gravel won’t fly and they make me dig a rain pond I’ll probably have to buy the lot across the alley.

Hopefully the salt around here has people despondent about their cars and I can get away with $1500 of limestone but that’s not something I plan to tackle this February anyway

I woulda cleaned the building out first then bought stuff, but what do I know.

I do know its a shame because you could at least do us all the courtesy of launching your halfbaked business and devoting enough money into it that it becomes a community project to unfuck it. We could get that snarky chef guy licking your donut taps and screaming about there's salt in the mix.

yeah there's no such thing as a good $60 espresso machine but it can probably at least steam milk so my tip is make coffee some other way and then steam some milk and you can have a latte

Put the steam exhaust point just under the surface of the milk. I think of it like creating a meringue — the point is to introduce many small air bubbles into the substrate.

If you just dunk the steam exhaust into the cup of milk it will heat up the milk and eventually boil it. That’s not the point.

You want to create a (somewhat) thin layer of bubble-injected milk along the top of the cup, pour that into your coffee cup, and be left with a normal cup of milk that still has 90% of what you started with.

Has your lot been paved in the past? Are you really increasing the overall impervious area?
