There has been lots of cleaning progress, I won't bore you with details or pictures, but it is amazing how much filth gets left behind (especially under equipment, etc.), not to mention what accumulates after years of sitting unused. Floors, ceilings, walls, it all has to be cleaned. Even the utility room that is used for cleaning supplies,etc had to be cleaned.
We started removing tiles (yes, as you can see we make extensive use of child labor) from the column in the middle of the room. The wood can now be removed and we will be free to do what we want with the structural post (decor-wise.)
Tomorrow's plans are to paint the ceiling, then by the next day hopefully patch, sand, and paint the walls in the dining area, and hopefully, and especially if we get some volunteer help, demo the bar, remove the old carpeting, and make way to paint the floor.
Once the floors are painted, we'll be able to bring in the tables and chairs. This will make the space start to actually look like a restaurant. And that's when it will start to get exciting. Woo-hoo!
