Yeah, it is taking the bull by the horns but also solves other problems related to more space like a bigger kitchen and quieter location. We've been looking around for the right opportunity, and when something suddenly came up this weekend that was best we'd seen to date, we really had to jump on it quickly. Found out Monday night the offer was accepted, so now am in mortgage hell providing all the paperwork, jumping through hoops, etc. It's very difficult to get a mortgage these days but I should be ok. The next incarnation of my "in-home tiki presence" (aka "bar") will have to be carefully planned and designed so that it will be both tiki and appealing as a place to sit and hang out. A relatively wide-open floor plan in the main living areas will make it both important and challenging to blend and harmoniously interconnect the spaces. Lighting will also be a big part of the fun - I have lots of experience with custom lighting and electrical and will try to get just the right lighting and effects.
