    Exclamation Never give your hammer to a man with a rubber chicken sporran!

    The picture didn't show up using the img html!


    "I'll be right back Grant, please hold this hammer for me while I'm gone."
    Sounded pretty innocent to me. This is what's left of our future coffee house. We were planning on strapping the wall for drywall installation, and maybe frame in a couple washrooms. I stepped out, and whammo!
    HARUMPH!

    Note: In spite of this mess, we still plan on opening 'Bohemian Friday' within the next couple months. Discounts for kilted customers who make the trek to Dunnville, Ontario!

    Holy smokes, I barely recognize the place. It didn't look like that when I started!



    Perhaps I borrowed the Clan Muir motto "By patience I break what is hard".

    So sorry you weren't warned about lending out hammers to chicken chokers.

    Do keep us informed with your progress, we'll definately come to your opening. I was the one wearing the balmoral at Robert's last Sat.

    Do check out the coffee chic's I mentioned. www.laschicasdelcafe.com

    They are very nice people and the coffee is superb, likely some of the best I've tasted.

    Cheers,
    Ken

    Thanks Ken! I forgot the name of the place, and I'm glad you reminded me! Great meeting you!

    Grant is just that way... The quickest way to get things done, is to tell him not to do it... Lol

    I understand that the uniform of the baristas (baristi, baristises?) will be hemp kilts, since I don't sling coffee only drink it i figured if it looked like I worked there...

    Maybe Grant should look at opening a new company. The K.A.R.C. Demolition and Remodeling Company,...well (looks at photo again) maybe just a demolition company. Look forward to hearing about your opening.
