The latest

Hey all, its been almost a most since I have posted last, crazy how fast time goes by! Well, demo is pretty much done--walls are gone and floors are cut--and its time for the new stuff to go in. Our plumbing is installed, and we have started building the bar. We have been eyeing reclaimed lumber for the finish, and are also looking at ways to turn old wooden wire spools into tables for the tasting room. Hopefully in a few days we will have come up with some really cool ideas.

Our plan is to repurpose as much as we can; the story behind repurposed material is so much more interesting than for new material (new material stories are pretty boring in general (i.e. "yea, we went down to Home Depot and picked up this lumber on an orange cart and then stood in line and paid for it...").  Whereas the material we are looking at came from the inside of a barn in Wisconsin that was built in the late 1800s--much more interesting...

So, check back in the next few days for more updates, I promise to post them more regular.

Cheers!
