A massive weekend working on the new venue. Very sore today. Max posted this shot on our Facebook page. Funny story – the hole got a lot bigger and the thing I was looking for (sewage pipe) was never found. The original builders had encased the pipe in a solid channel of concrete. Had to give up and start another one out the back. Found the pipe eventually. So now we can install a sink in the bar.

Marty digging out the venue floor.

Between digging & tip runs, brick-by-brick we pulled down an old fireplace and chimney in the rear of the building. An epic undertaking. Working on this place is part archeological. There’s stuff behind the walls & in the ground from a hundred years ago. False teeth, bottles, old pipe, paint tins etc.

Recovering slowly today.
Fires out.
