    Vineyard Cafe: Final Additions and Repairs

    Over the last week, we have had the builders back in sporadically to add some new features and fix a few small problems. We have now knocked down the temporary room inside the back room and added a bookcase, added some more shelves behind the bar and fixed a few problems with the floor.

    This post first appeared on the Vineyard Cafe blog as a photo album in August 2006. Vineyard Cafe was the restaurant I opened in a Beijing hutong in 2006 with Will and Xuduan, and while we built it we kept a blog and a weekly photo album of our progress. The blog is long gone, so I have brought it back here. See the whole Vineyard Cafe story.
