~~~Update, Changes at the Bar!!!~~~

Joe has wanted to do stone on the base of the bar since he built it. But, it is a summer job because he had to use a wet saw and wanted to be able to do it outside. So, last week, he did it! OMGoodness, it looks amazing. We really like it and hope you do too! This is what it has looked like. Joe used cement board for the base knowing that he was going to do the stone. He then painted it this tan color.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMkJsJjXZwMEP6PfP6NQBMwHYyYG1s5ekbbHmT33D9IUU6LftCef0i0Ds-BGebZOBNCfsIcya8LzxLxZ1mszXvaoGHRYjh6r17vd11DgBmatB58HRTjCwf9Dp5vBYZ2yQLSkYrDXu6vp0/s1600/IMG_0549.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMkJsJjXZwMEP6PfP6NQBMwHYyYG1s5ekbbHmT33D9IUU6LftCef0i0Ds-BGebZOBNCfsIcya8LzxLxZ1mszXvaoGHRYjh6r17vd11DgBmatB58HRTjCwf9Dp5vBYZ2yQLSkYrDXu6vp0/s1600/IMG_0549.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh37WSqZhqFWi-m3gmU6NjM9jOo_XGCFxnVU-5Ov4s8nU-_kV4Ffp61tvzOJselH_FJQntYuX5MjYWI1_CUqnE5qR8fBbGStjfjG3C7k-BrJni1kl_4JXz8P1E7J9SROQ9AT8FaOM2aTkI/s1600/IMG_0550.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh37WSqZhqFWi-m3gmU6NjM9jOo_XGCFxnVU-5Ov4s8nU-_kV4Ffp61tvzOJselH_FJQntYuX5MjYWI1_CUqnE5qR8fBbGStjfjG3C7k-BrJni1kl_4JXz8P1E7J9SROQ9AT8FaOM2aTkI/s1600/IMG_0550.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> If you want to see the original post of the bar here is the link: <a href="http://designsbypinky.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-big-reveal-new-bar.html">http://designsbypinky.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-big-reveal-new-bar.html</a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWXDqDrujZ8jYO6d8IZXXwet-XwOwEmmgbFATCp8YNh8gDaJSpxLlPMgkFb89HogiJCOOj7SWZf613iEo5Cbx56ekDpLlqaG8AXadv6Me_yhOCUP98m-ZdJTGYgQfmJhQ9chTs8yPALos/s1600/IMG_0551.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWXDqDrujZ8jYO6d8IZXXwet-XwOwEmmgbFATCp8YNh8gDaJSpxLlPMgkFb89HogiJCOOj7SWZf613iEo5Cbx56ekDpLlqaG8AXadv6Me_yhOCUP98m-ZdJTGYgQfmJhQ9chTs8yPALos/s1600/IMG_0551.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>As you can see, these pics were taken last Fall:)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3cJT-TxCuDYLJYiuSwrJlDCERy0UgTEGjkeCKr4gE5JpXn8FO7qFbL62ogVbao_2XNB9B0Z62t2086vIBjJxcHMf203v-sR_vz-lx0r8PvaJhXbd6cuybcS4rFvwCB7KCB2q2nbdZQpE/s1600/IMG_0556.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3cJT-TxCuDYLJYiuSwrJlDCERy0UgTEGjkeCKr4gE5JpXn8FO7qFbL62ogVbao_2XNB9B0Z62t2086vIBjJxcHMf203v-sR_vz-lx0r8PvaJhXbd6cuybcS4rFvwCB7KCB2q2nbdZQpE/s1600/IMG_0556.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZOXuCgOfNUhtSGkKVtZ5jat5SQD1kqXwhziOR6dTF2HQD3hwht7zy1QnPmkD2faQUua-Gv4X20UFCivmowePYdv8hU-lbVVdJfmx8lZCIJkF2PAoFLlh8IUO-0-3absq0QGzlbFU2R7U/s1600/IMG_0557.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZOXuCgOfNUhtSGkKVtZ5jat5SQD1kqXwhziOR6dTF2HQD3hwht7zy1QnPmkD2faQUua-Gv4X20UFCivmowePYdv8hU-lbVVdJfmx8lZCIJkF2PAoFLlh8IUO-0-3absq0QGzlbFU2R7U/s1600/IMG_0557.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> TA DA!!!
