Well, in my experience, building the bar was a bewildering, frustrating, obsessive, satisfying and expensive undertaking. But nothing beats the thrill I get when people walk into i t for the first time and say, "Oh my god, you BUILT this?!". I think I know know what artists feel like when they get rave reviews at a gallery opening.

Quite frankly, even after nearly 3 years, I still don't think I've spent as much time hanging out in my bar as I did building it, but that's o.k. In the winter, when my hot tub sits below the beach scene mural, I can just kick back and admire my own handiwork (and scheme about new additions), and that's probably where I get the most enjoyment of all.
