Buyer beware part 2

If you haven’t read the previous post check it out.

Just knowing what was on the surface LIT Food Co decided to do was totally remodel this kitchen. Now this may seem like that's overkill, as it turns out it was necessary. While tearing into it more we found out why. An unsound structure, non sanitary conditions, and other suprises. 

​All the wall surfaces although stainless steel were so full of holes and faciners that the could not be easily sanitized even with a better water system. They had been patched together with reused materials, a dosen types of faciners and used bubble gum or they might as well have been. I’m all for recycling and upcycling, and have made all kinds of fun stuff with discarded things but not if it’s a health risk for the public. When I open up the sub walls, I found even more.

The structure of the whole thing was crazy dangerous. The “studs” were 2x6’s which is larger than a standard 2x4 stud, but they were three feet apart from each other and not tied in properly. The roof structure was the same every thing too far apart, and barely facened together. The roof also leaked in multiple places creating a place for mold which had to be removed and sterilized.

​Another fun find was the the refrigerator was too big for it’s space. The previous builder had just built that section of wall around it. So to move it later we had to take apart the exterior of the trailer and pull it half way out to turn it. 

All of this shows that Lit Food Co made the correct choice in going with the full remodel. 

Now you have heard some of the horrors, I could go on but who want to read that. Next time we’ll show you what a proper food trailer should be made like.
