Adventures in Building Rasa-Caffe ( Part -3)

Thank you and enjoy!

After!

                                                  A  Picture of the pillar and wall.


                           A picture of Tom while working and showing me the progress of                                                                              cleaning , fixing the walls, and priming the place!


                                          Siouxsie taking on part of the project of sanding the pillar.


                                                 After. The wooden pillar came out nicely


                             This is a picture of the floor that we were looking to fix with some Elmer's glue sealant                        and paint . It turns out that this old floor could be a safety hazard if not properly fixed. So it looks like we will get a brand new floor as tenant improvement!



                            This is a photo of my fractured finger. I was belt sanding the pillar and it caught my finger pulling off the nail as well. I am very thankful that David ( of the firehouse) was onsite and drove me to the hospital emergency room. It was quite traumatic and I am glad I still have the digit!




What is Sicily looking for? Actually it's a cool tile store in Berkeley that has a great free tile section!

This is a picture of the coffee cart that is being built for Rasa caffe in our work shop.
We are excited to start fully using it!

Photo of Dash looking for a "pick me up" in the refrigerator.

This is a wide shot of  our work shop a lot is in progress there.

                                                                       Thanks Sicily!
