Well this weekend was another giant leap forward for the Tiki Bar.  Klug & Cup came down from Jersey again, bringing Tom along this time as well.  Luke came over to lend a hand as well, and Sarah provided us all with much needed sustenance to keep us going.  (MMmmm...warm soft pretzels).

The big thrust of the weekend was shelving.  All of the shelf supports and shelves for the front bar were cut, stained and put in place.  They haven't been screwed down yet so that I can pull them out and poly them.  The floor to ceiling shelves for the left side of the bar are all cut out, awaiting stain and poly.  The back bar display shelves and supports are all cut, notched and ready to be glued together.  They can then be stained and poly'd.  (Can you tell I have a lot of staining and polying to do?)  In addition to herculean shelving feats, we also cut out and put together most of the above-fridge cabinet, built a sexy-ass custom light fixture to go over the back bar (I'll be able to see the blender!), cut and stained the trim that will cover the 2x4s of the front bar, and stained the back of the plywood that covers the front of the front bar (so that when you're behind the bar looking at the shelves, there isn't ugly plain plywood staring back at you).

Last week, Jeff and I also managed a number of small tiki projects in preparation for people's arrival.  We hung the cabinet doors on the large cabinet, mounted the trim on the back bar, hung up the outdoor Tiki Sign and secured the window cover in place, ran some cabling, and cut the plywood for the bar front.
