I’ve really had a lot of fun this Christmas weekend, lots of family, friends, and family of friends have been around town and stopping by to ask how things are going with the project and express their excitement about it. It’s a bit of an undertaking  (which I knew that it was going to be) but hearing the excitement in everyone’s voices and the stories about the bar that I’m hearing from everyone really has made it a ride worth taking. I think this is a fantastic time for me to express my gratitude for everyone that has helped make this project a reality and for everyone that has supported and helped me with it. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Now to the good stuff! I teased a little bit in last Monday’s post, but (for those who don’t know yet) the crew was able to pull the rest of the roof off last Monday. It was quite the spectacle and we had quite a few gawkers while it was happening. (including myself!)

After that I wasn’t able to get back up to St. Nick until this past Friday, but they’ve leveled everything off and put in the new double top plates all the way around the building and Friday they stood up the two new first-level walls! (in the northwest corner of the building)

The crew is taking this coming week off so there probably won’t be a post this coming Monday (1/1) but I’ll keep the posts coming as more happens.
