Construction Fun

(Crew having some fun as they sand down the kitchen floor, and scrape away old paint before repainting the floor a creamy grey)

Construction has certainly been an interesting experience. We walked into a messy jumble of old wood, broken floor tiles, and badly installed, upside-down crown moulding. As if that weren’t enough, the place was overrun with doors that led nowhere. Amongst the doors glued to the walls, was a very large and very rough looking wooden cross, and.. a watermelon painting?

Fortunately, our building contractor, Alan, and his team have remedied the situation. Lots of work has gone into re-tiling the floors and bathroom walls, fixing and repainting the walls, as well as restoring wooden parts. Restoring wood involves sanding off all of the sealants, restaining (usually multiple times) and then refinishing. With all the lovely wood in the place, it was a big task to accomplish!

Now the restaurant is replete with snazzy new lighting, crystal chandeliers, LCD flat screens, and white ostrich skin chairs! The main dining room features a large single slab, white marble table that seats 12! The bar area is similarly spectacular with it’s unique, sparkly granite countertop.
