SUE IS TAKING A BREAK FROM MAKING CHEESE TO ADMIRE HER NEW DECK AND AWNING.   Summer 2009

THIS IS THE FULL BATHROOM INCLUDING A SHOWER WHICH IS LOCATED TO THE RIGHT OF THE WALL IN THIS PICTURE.  LIKE THE MILK PARLOR, THE BATHROOM IS FINISHED WITH THE SHEETROCK AND MARLITE COMBINATION FOR EASY CLEANING.

THIS IS THE 40-GALLON WATER HEATER SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE CHEESE ROOM BY A SOLID DOOR AS REQUIRED BY BOTH BUILDNG CODE AND DAIRY DIVISION REGULATIONS.   THE WATER HEATER AREA ALSO HAS ITS OWN FLOOR DRAIN.

THIS AREA LEADS FROM THE CHEESE ROOM INTO THE MILKING PARLOR.   NOTICE THE STAINLESS STEEL HAND SINK AND THE HOT & COLD FAUCETS TO THE RIGHT OF THE SINK.   THE  CHEESE AND MILK PROCESSING ROOM ARE SEPARATED BY SOLID DOORS AS REQUIRED BY DAIRY DIVISION REGULATIONS.   THE INTERIOR OF THE CHEESE PROCESSING ROOM HAS THE SAME SHEETROCK AND MARLITE COMBINATION AS THE PARLOR TO PERMIT WASH DOWN AND EASIER CLEANING.

A LARGE THREE-PART STAINLESS STEEL SINK REQUIRED BY DAIRY DIVISION REGULATIONS, WITH DRAIN BOARDS ON EACH END.   WE HAVE PLENTY OF ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING AS WELL AS NATURAL LIGHTING THROUGH THE WINDOWS.

THE REFRIGERATOR SITS ALONG THE SOUTH WALL OF THE CHEESE MAKING ROOM AND HAS BEEN RELOCATED TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROOM TO ACCOMODATE THE PASTEURIZER AND OTHER EQUIPMENT.

THE STAINLESS STEEL WORK TABLE SITS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM BUT HAS BEEN REPOSITIONED 3 FEET TO THE NORTH TO MAKE MORE ROOM FOR THE PASTEURIZER AND CHILLER TANK.   THE BLACK OBJECT ABOVE THE CENTER OF THE TABLE IS A POWER CORD EXTENDING DOWN FROM THE CEILING TO POWER THE HOT PLATE AND DIGITAL SCALE, ETC.
