CAD Bar Designs-Before Photos with CAD Drawing


In this Design-Build Project for Shady Jacks Saloon in Downtown St Louis MO.  The Owner, Shady Jack has 3 Main Goals for this Project: 1-Create User Friendly Area for the Staff-with the addition of racking space for the Latest Non-Alcoholic & Alcoholic Beverage Dispensers; 2-Creating a eye appealing backdrop; 3-As always the renovation must blend in with the current surroundings.


What: Design Build Project-Bar Design
Where: Shady Jacks-1432 North Broadway, St Louis MO, 63102
When: February 2013
Type: Custom Wood Work and Finishing
Materials: True Dimensional 'White Oak -Structural Beams' 


Build Notes: 
  • To control costs we will be using up-cycled lumber from leftover materials from past projects at the Bar.
Additional Note:
  • As a Non-Drinker-I look forward to having a greater selection of non-alcoholic drinks to enjoy when I'm hanging out at the Bar.
  • The previous project-Stage and Extra Seating turned out Great and was a big hit at the last event.  At one time during the event; there were 2 Custom Harley Choppers with Stripper Pole Contestants all utilizing the Stage.  The Custom Wood Stage held up beautifully and created the perfect atmosphere for the event!

Paint Pro Tip #35

by Scotty-Scotts Contracting, St Louis Renewable Energy

*As seen in the following photo: Use an Old T-Shirt to cover the Tank on a toilette bowl before painting for easy clean up. See the Benton Rehab Green Blog Series at:http://stlouisrenewableenergy.blogspot.com/2012/10/series-green-blog-posts-covering.html 


Paint Pro Tip #35 by Scotty, Scotts Contracting-St Louis Renewable Energy

* * * I recommend to remove the Tank Lid before placing the T-Shirt around the Tank before painting.  This will alleviate the possibility of breaking an expensive Tank Lid when removing the T-Shirt after painting.
