July 25

Finish the patio celing, looks cool!

Bocce goes down.

Hoisting bar bar into place!

I really can't believe we just built an f***ing bocce ball court.



July 24

Dropping the patio ceiling. Nice Sunday activity.

And the handrail to get down the bocce stairs. I really like it.

July 23

Hooking up bar fixtures.

Nice clean storage gets first coat epoxy flooring.

Steel support for backbar.


July 22

PG&E hook up the power.

Puppies!

Gotta stain all the panelling.

Bathrooms fixtures hooked up.

And chairs. Lots of chairs.

Cool new light fixture we cobbled together.

Entertainment nerve center cabinetry-we can gets some decks if we ever want djs, etc.

Bar top is coming together.

And lighting fixtures, some reclaimed, some home depot specials.

And we take a Friday Fieldtrip to the Museum.

Our Pagan boys put in lighting.

Playing with used pool tables, designing bar layout.

June 7

Our bathroom hallway gets paneled, cool and quirky.

Eli gets a Hollywood set designer to help perfect the faux concrete method.

With fantastic results! Not quite there yet, but very very close to perfect!

And a pretty view of our building in the sunset.

July 6

Test run painting the facade black. I think it looks pretty good!

And the bathrooms getting tiled. Had to order 5500 individual tiles instead of 650 boxes. It was cheaper.


July 1



Raul rollers sealant onto concrete. What?

Had a couple very successful trips to Urban Ore architectural reclamation yard (cool junkyard). And found our backbar! It was being used as display case, and had to be cut out of a hedge of brambles. Covered in rust. Occasionally falling apart. Perfect. Luckily, Eli got a truck.






















Patio somewhat stripped and sealed. Saga finally at an end?
