WORK PERMITS!!

Up until now, we have been operating behind closed doors and tight lips.
But now, we are LEGAL!
Happy New Year!

Taking Shape

The asbestos is gone and the plans are in place.

Kevin is making the floors flatter...


...and Longer!

as we expand into the old loading area.

Today... We insulate.

That is a onesie over my onesie, as i prepare to insulate our ceiling.
Fun, Dirty and Itchy!

Tear Down the Wall!!

Before it was a warehouse, it was a liquor store. Before it was that liquor store, it was another liquor store. That liquor store was Mark Anthony's Liquors. Mark Anthony also owned the building at that time.
These days, Mark Anthony owns a building across the street, where he also lives. He seemed very excited to hear that we were opening a bar and restaurant in his former space (hopefully his tune wont change once we open).

Cujo takes down the wall

I wasn't there when he came by to tell the story, but, apparently, he bricked up our beautiful garage door by order of his wife, after he was robbed one too many times...


and now... the wall is GONE!

the room is bright

and the place is FULL of debris

Let the DEMOLITION begin!!

This week we begin DEMOLITION!!
Walls are coming down, and sledgehammers are swinging...





And how about this stairway to nowhere?! (found it behind a wall!)

Inside Photos!

Here are some shots from the inside. It used to be a liquor store, with a loading area in the rear. For nearly the past decade it has remained shuttered, as a liquor store warehouse!
