Default New hobby. (woodworking related on many levels: building a bar.)

Project scope:
8 Apartments, to be fully renovated.
Bar and restaurant on the Front Street side. Retail space and Tea-room
on the Christina Street side.
This building is a city block long and spans 2 addresses on two
different streets, but are connected legally as one property. (Really
nice when you start counting fire escapes etc.)
My part is to build a bar with celtic carvings and architectural
features.
Signage outside with corbels and fluted columns with capitals and
corniches.
I am working from a bunch of photos from Ireland.

What it is now. These piccies were taken by Google Maps.

This is the Christina Street entrance which will have 2 retail spaces.

Perhaps you forgot to upload it? Page not found.


The entire area is going through a resurrection with major money being
spent on cultural stuff.

Up until last year, the difference between Downtown Sarnia and a bowl of
yoghurt was that the yoghurt has an active, living culture.


A hotbed of inactivity, wot?
