Construction:

Another photo update for you all.  You can see the dowstairs walls are nearly finished. :)  Upstairs will some day be an apartment, but for now we're just leaving it like a closed box.  When we have more money we'll finish that.  The idea is to rent it...or maybe it can be our "mother-in-law cottage" (hehe) my parents can stay there when they come in the future! ;)  In any case, neither of us wants to live in an apartment, much less above the bar, but we figure building an apartment is a good idea because if we can rent it some day that's extra income and if/when we eventually sell the place an apartment adds value to the property.  Okay, I'll leave you with the pictures.  Not a whole lot else to report anyway.  I've been sick with a nasty cold this past week and haven't done much of anything.  I even had to cancel my Wednesday classes.  I had no energy to be singing and dancing with 5-year-olds!

To the right you can see what will be the entrance door for the upstairs flat and also a door out onto the pedestrian street where A can set up tables in summer.

This is the front of the bar: two big windows and the front door.  The bar will be on the left when you walk in.  The idea is to be able to put high stools here along the facade and people can order and get their drinks through the window as opposed to getting up and going inside.

From the inside looking out toward the main door.

So it's a little hard to imagine still at this point, but I think you can get an idea of the finished product...At least it's starting to look like a building!
