Was for the Barn Mahal bar to be finished. Seeing that we came home and discovered its beginning framework in place in mid November….
.

I didn’t think that would be too much to ask. But alas, our builder didn’t agree.
Oh, he’s sent updates via text messages.

Like the layout of the rough unfinished boards on his shop floor.
I thought the 3 graduating colors would be interesting…
.

Until he sent the next update of those boards being sanded and glued. Bye bye color.
.

He assures me work is progressing steadily and that he hasn’t forgotten us, but it seems the only way I’ll be bellying up for a toddy will be like this:

Cheers!

Funny! Here’s to a new year in which your barn is complete by February! 🌞

Well, seeing as how you can get a McWine in France, a McWhiskey isn’t so farfetched (and is a really good idea).

Alcohol would certainly improve the food quality…. or your ability to taste it, which is basically the same thing.

You might get come of the color back when the finish goes on … too soon to panic there.
And just think … all the sawdust is on HIS floor!

I don’t know, my track record for picking the right stain is abysmal. And as far as the sawdust goes…. the husband refused to turn off the heat pump when he was working in there so we still have plenty circulating in the air…. even after cleaning the filter.

It doesn’t look like you’ll be watching the ball drop around that bar, but it might be ready when the bar stools are ready.
Merry Christmas.

A McMerry Christmas to you and hubby.
I hope you’ll soon be dispensing bubbly
from behind your finished Barn Mahal bar.
If not, you’d better wish upon your lucky star
that your contractor gets his act together
before it becomes a matter of whether the weather
keeps him from getting there till summer
which would surely be a bubbly McBummer.

How much guidance is the guy getting about what you want the bar to look like? Is he staining it or are you?

We keep telling him what we want but I’m not sure it’s registering. And he’s doing the staining, even though he didn’t want to.

Like I always say: punctuation matters!
By the way, we signed our construction contract in April… they’re starting the drywalling on Monday. In other words, I didn’t get my two new rooms for Christmas either. 😦 I did get a remote car starter installed, though! 🙂
