wow, thanks for the great comments.

Yup, I don't ever want Lottery or TV's. Or Budwiser. I urged a young woman to leave after 15 minutes of her kvetching that we don't have bud or coors. I suggested she try Denny's.

The menu will get expanded, the plan is over 30 drinks, each day we try to add one or two as they get perfected.

Plus, the plan is 42 differnt types of rum. We already have a couple rare ones in there, like El Ron of Cuba.

The patio won't ever happen. Behind the back wall is, well, a house. I don't think busy Broadway is anyplace to enjoy a drink so out front is a bad idea also.

So the burning eyes sensation isn't from the lil' oil lamps, but a combination of the fire retardant material and moisture carrying it about the room. For something that isn't supposed to burn , the stuff really stings. I only had direct contact with it while hanging lights, I can't imagine what Mark (Maori man) went through spraying the stuff and later installing it.

Nine gallons of the stuff was sprayed to make it past the fire marshall.

The HVAC stystem didn't kick in and today I have someone coming out to not only fix it, but increase the fresh air return.

In all, thanks for the commennts and I'll keep trying to iron out the wrinkles.
