As we cleaned up tonight I stepped back and looked out towards the entry. It made me smile! It is working beyond my wildest dreams! The latest brick wall is on the left. My back is to the new bar area. The two big beams are the next to get the concrete wood grain treatment. But what struck me was the wonderful ambiance that will greet our guests. The brickwork winds its way from panel to panel with the large oversized timbers tying it all together. The timber woodwork in the ceiling and ceramic floors with the fancy borders will frame the work we do. And the crowning touch will be the many pieces of colorful eye candy which we are creating on the router.
The challenge each day is to schedule and do all the things that need doing, juggling space with the many other team members and trades who are also sharing the tight space. We have to be extremely flexible which makes it a little difficult to predict which area will be the next to be worked on. As more and more areas are completed it will only get tighter as we proceed. But spirits are high and it is a lot of fun to work on this project.
