Exciting...

Now this is big stuff, not for the faint of heart. Like the fire lines going in...

Old and New Unite!!!

Transition of 1965 original structure to the new dining space. Had to figure out how best to do this, went with the organic approach. Just let them come together and live with the marriage. I am very happy with the result.

More rubble

Nothing better then a pile of rubble to make men feel manly. 

roof is on

Well if it rains or a monsoon comes along we are somewhat protected. That's John our master supervisor keeping everyone in line.

Ceiling

Sprayed the ceiling this past weekend. The beams, that were sand blasted, will be treated which will bring out the color and make them shimmer. Wanted to go dark to bring more of a warm mood to the room. Ralph Lauren really does make some great colors, this one is "starry midnight". 

Bar wall

Nice to be able to see the space take shape. This is the support wall for the bar top. Just the beginning, but gives us an idea of the shape in the space. One thing I have learned, no matter how much experience I have, or how many spaces we have created, the is never enough space. In other words, its going to be a cozy bar.

Garage Doors

Cutting holes for the 10 ft. wide garage doors that will open up the bar area to the patio and match the two garage doors on  the interior dining side of the space, which also open up to the patio.
