Mike the Cookie Widower's transcript of the building process can be found here.
Take a look at the pictures to see the journey of building my 16x16 slice of cookie heaven!
1.  It starts with a dream. . . and a drawing.
4.  Uh oh.  This is really happening.
7.  Walls
10.  Insulation and Moisture Resistant Drywall
13.  Equipment installation, all commercial/NSF
2.  Building permits.  Are we really going to do this?!
5.  Block foundation
8.  Roof and Siding
11.  Painting, wipe-able wall board, HVAC cutout
14.  The workhorse of the kitchen- NSF Commercial KitchenAid.  Sad that it only comes in white with a BRIGHT orange cord
3.  Staking out the location.

6.  Framing and pretend baking
9.  Electrical and plumbing
12.  Sink installation (3-basin and hand wash).  Mop sink is in a closet.

15.  Commercial convection oven.  A serious learning curve was necessary.
16.  Storage.  There's never enough.
17.  Ingredients bin- one for flour, one for sugar
