spelling bea

It’s not a quality I’m particularly proud of, or I should say, a quality of which I’m particularly proud, but I can be a bit of a nitpicker on the spelling front.  So when I was admiring this box of wires, I noticed and was compelled to make a snarky comment about the wire labeled, […]

transformation

The really huge storm the weekend before last slowed us down, but this weekend’s storms were apparently small potatoes for TEP, who was on site bright and early today to install our transformer.  The meter comes tomorrow, and things should start falling into place shortly thereafter.

bar back/back bar/bar backing

The plumbers will hit the ground running again on Monday, so Ron, the carpenter we all love and admire, came in on Saturday to get the bar ready for the sinks they’ll be installing.  First, plywood: we can screw the sinks into it at any point.  No hunting for studs.  Then, FRP, which, as we […]

stay cool

Look what we got: the fans and condensing unit were installed for the wine room yesterday, so we can serve everything at cellar temperature.  And we can hide in here when it’s hot and swampy.

lean on me

What’s with the song titles today?  Here comes an extra bar to lean on, have a seat at and enjoy a snack or a sip while you wait for a table, or while you don’t.  You can stay here all evening if you want.
