Renaissance Revolutionaries!  That's who is running this show here.  The pay is low but the rewards are endless.  Now was it "measure twice"?  Soon to come - The Most Beautiul Bar in the World!  As conceived by this man- my father-in-law, Jim Gardner!  One of the original Revolutionaries!  Thanks Jim.

After acquiring a building and its contents important decisions must be made about what to keep and what you will need to buy.  With either choice you must impart yourself upon your chosen objects and make them yours or a reflection of you.  For example, there were several layers of sloppy paintjob on these paper towel dispensers so "Sparky" got to grinding on them.  You can see the result in the background.  These were then painted with a nice silver and mounted in the bathrooms.  Reclamation is a major theme here and my wife is the master.  It's also what I am up to with that beastly fryer. More on that later....
