📷 Reference photos provided (folder `8x24-reference-photos`):

- drip-hl-view.png — AI concept layout of The Daily Pour: top-down equipment placement + 4 interior view angles. USE FOR DESIGN INTENT / LAYOUT / LOOK. ⚠️ The specs printed on this image (8.5×24, 14,000 GVWR, 7,000 lb axles) are NOT accurate — use Section 1 of this sheet for real dimensions/weights (8.5×26, 9,800 GVWR, 5,200 lb axles).
- sample-image.png — additional concept/reference render.
- inside-black.jpg — real photo of the bare interior (plywood walls, ceiling ribs, curbside RV door, D-rings, base trim) showing actual construction/finish to design into. Same US Cargo build family (demo unit is shorter, but identical construction).
- IMG_1641/1642/1643-150x150.jpg — small thumbnails (low-res; request full-size from owner if detail needed).

Rule: concept renders = layout & style; this spec sheet's Section 1 = the real trailer dimensions that govern the CAD.

## 3 · Modifications Needed (for the designer to plan)

- Serving window: add ~3'×4' concession window on ONE long side wall (streetside, opposite the RV door) for drive-through service — with wall-post reinforcement around the cut (walls are 16" OC = reinforceable).
- Finish: walls + ceiling finished in smooth, washable FRP or aluminum (health-code cleanable surfaces); commercial-grade sealed/coved flooring.
- Layout: galley plan with a clear center aisle for 1–2 baristas; espresso station along the service-window wall, prep + sinks on the opposite wall.
