What's happening in there??

In the last 2 weeks, remarkable progress is being made at the Blue Rooster.  Siding is complete on the north side, to assure best possible matchup with the neighbor's needs.  The south side is also complete and the back (facing the school) will be complete this week.  The north side has been painted as well and thanks to each of you who have complimented us on the quality of the building and its look that fits so well with the original portion of the building and with the overall neighborhood and village.

Inside the work continues to bring the electrics, plumbing and heating up to code in the original portion of the building and to install them in the new.  It is amazing to see the care and thought that go into craftsmen considering how best to keep the look and feel of an 1850's building while assuring our safety and comfort in this day in the 21st century.  We have a very talented and committed crew working at the Blue Rooster.

Pictures to follow, however I will say that the last bit of demolition included exposing an interior wall that has beautiful examples of the original craftsmanship of the building.  The beams and the pegs used show how it was done before stainless steel, etc.  We hope to find a way to let a portion of this remain on view for you all to see when you visit.

It won't be long now before we can put a date to our opening... more to follow.
