Finaly a clean place. No more dust, no more health issues. It’s been a long time. I can really get a feel for the place now. So many descisions, you never really no if you got it right until the end. I think I got it right. Check it out.

Ah the floors are almost finished. What a relief. Now the real work begins. Back bar, boothes, beer walkin. It’s going to move fast and I will try and keep the pictures rolling.

Dust bowl

We are getting ready to make a whole lot of dust people. The cutthrough for next door involves 7 courses of brick. Chris is doing an awesome job so far, but there is no escaping the dust. Have a great holiday weekend. ” stay thirsty my friends”.

The bar.

Slowly the wheels are turning. Progress is being made on the bar with a few adjustments. Because the floors were poured on a slant.There is 4 inch difference front to back. If there is one thing Ive learned over the years, your bar height has to be perfect. 44 inchs exactly. My solution, which came to me at 4 in the morning, was to step the bar down three times back to front. I think its going to be an interesting effect.

The kitchen is also reaching completion. Resetting equipment next week and moving on.

Dinky doo and Henri’ are feverishly skinning the bar walls. If I could get them away from there “buttercup club” activities, we would really have something. Just kidding boys. Great job as usual.
