rusted reno!

Most of you probably don't associate FUN and RENO in the same sentence but it's been a FUN day of RENO at rusted market! 

 The gang all pitched in and we re-did our front counter area. 

Here's the before, while charming, it needed some OOMPH! (is that a word?)




the guys started early by removing the letters, lights and old chalk board...





the shenanigans begin early :)



oops, does our insurance cover that?  whew, no permanent damage!


a brief autograph session... (i think all the sugar 
from the donuts were kicking in...)



the rusty tin sheets went up first,


and then a brief trip to Lowe's for some lag bolts...



and the amazing beam floated like a three muskateers bar...


ok, maybe NOT like a knife through butter though... (wow, who knew there were bricks behind that drywall??


time to reattach our killer salvaged lights from the Re-Store... 
begging the question, just how many rusted gang member does it take to change a light fixture?  FOUR, the answer is FOUR





and, whew!



and, then the letters started to go back up...



very careful math was involved...(seriously!)


just a little more to the right...


and, voila!



 (insert pizza & beer break here...)



the check out counter (aka a former potting bench)
was wrapped in this aqua painted barn wood...


and...we sat back and admired the handiwork!




...and of course had to take a victory shot!


the rusted gang ROCKS it again!


...and that's how Reno's are FUN!!!
