So close we can taste it . . .

We’re almost done! I know we are. Andrew and I did some heavy duty cleaning on Tuesday night or so, with much appreciated help from Katherine and others, and suddenly we realized that it wasn’t that we had so much construction to do as much as that the place was so cluttered we couldn’t see our progress. Now that we’ve moved some tables around, put our extra building materials out of the way, and thrown away all the packaging from our tools/caulk/sandpaper/brushes/food/whatnot, suddenly the front room looks spacious and almost ready to hold some munchies. Right now, we’re just focusing on patching up some flaws in the paint and plaster and making everything look pretty. Our pretty new sign is almost finished as well, and I absolutely cannot wait to put it up. I’m confident that in a day or two, after some REALLY heavy duty cleaning, we’ll be ready for action. Let’s just hope I don’t end up having to eat my words . . .
PS. Puns are terrible things, and I should be ashamed of myself for my callous and uncaring use of them in this post. My apologies.
