I've been a little under the weather, but still doing a lot of stuff.

This weekend a lot of work was done at the cafe. There are now four (out of six if I can pull it off) coats of poly on the tables. They're looking pretty glossy, and I expect the extra coats won't make them look any better, but will protect the surfaces nicely.

We also got six 4x4x8 posts set in concrete that will become the skeleton of the dumpster area sometime this week. As far as I can tell this is the last seriously physical labor we need to do before the cafe opens (other than toting around heavy equipment).

My buddy Graeme flew in last week and he's been an enormous help with the heavy work, despite the fact that this is supposed to be a vacation for him. I suppose it's more interesting than jacking up a sagging porch which I made him help me with on a previous trip.
