The cats already think it's a secret lair. We built the floor in sections rather than all the way across. This side is in a 6 foot and 5 foot section. Take the OSB off, pull the cross beams out and you can remove the floor and get access to the basement. There is an inside stairway of course. But if you need to get big furniture items down there, we'll still be able to get to these stairs. The other side of the room will get a permanent floor that the bar will be build on. We have to tear out the inside of that wall there, remove those windows and do the electrical and plumbing work. Patch the kitchen side where the windows were, etc. Also running a duct from the HVAC in here. So, this part of the floor is here to make it easier to work on that, but not prevent working on all that, if that makes sense.

Contractors coming after Hukilau.

Once this hard stuff is done, we get to the fun part. Building the actual wet bar and then decorating. And then of course, breaking it in...
