Big things dont come easy

We knew it is not going to be easy opening up in a month with everything, but everyday, we achieve something and we are happy about, and then just something happens that makes it difficult again. It has been intense today, we sorted out Scotts license for djing on Saturday, basically we got help from Zaj DJ so we did it in a short notice, we got a permit for 24 hours. After we got this done, we had the Dreher representative coming over to sign all the papers. Actually we are very happy to go with this company and Norbi is very nice and helpful with everything. He has been here for about an hour, we even talked about the future of the business and what they can offer. 
All went relatively well today, there is still so much for tomorrow, but we are getting there and we would be able to open right now as we have everything. I dont think my mind is able to understand that this place is going to be open in about 36 hours haha. 
The missing fridge
So, as I said, we had some complications today. All the equipment we get from the drink supplier companies come quite last minute, but today we found out, that although we started straight away with Coca Cola, they still not going to be able to deliver our fridges for the opening. Well, it is a very big disappointment for us, as we were expecting it tomorrow and now we dont have a drink fridge apart from our own one, since we have the Dreher fridges coming in next week. So, Scott wasnt happy about the situation, we looked up other options for us, and we finally found an advertisement with a very nice small fridge, it is only that this was again not in our budget before and now we have new expenses again just before the opening. Somehow we will try to have Coca Cola compensate us for this, as this is a very big let down towards our business, and letting us know just 36 hours before the opening is even worse.
So this is where we stand now, tomorrow is the busiest day ever, we have to get everything sorted what is left, small things like fire signs and drink measurer to getting the beer taps in. It should be the most interesting day so far, and I can say that I am quite excited and nervous about Saturday. But it should be all fine, we came so far!!!
