I finally decided to weigh in on this topic... When Maggie and I first started working on Castaway Cove, we would often get off work, then go out to the building where the bar was going in and work until 10 or 11 at night. It was a huge ordeal, including the moving of over 3 TONS of various collectible rocks like petrified wood and geodes (the building had been used as a rock cutting and polishing shop by previous owners) and piles of rat poop. Still, we were obsessed, a condition I can tell many of you understand...

The wallpaper mural brought us closer than we've ever been to getting in a huge fight - that was a MAJOR pain in the ass to hang, let me tell you, but judging by the feedback we get from it I'd have to say that it was still worth it.

If you're like us (and God help you if you are), your bar will never stop being a project. We're about to start rebuilding the waterfall - it's not big enough - and we never seem to run out of refinements and improvements. Don't be afraid; let others be afraid FOR you!
