I'll be at my pub

The Mayor has been working on a pub-style bench for the very small dining room at Michael Delving.  As point of reference, the dining room is 48.5 inches wide and approximately 8 feet long.  The Mayor finished the rough construction outside on a clear January night, then the Hobbit Wife helped the Mayor bring this behemoth inside (the bench is easily 300 pounds).
A tarp went down and the gracious Hobbit Wife consented to indoor sanding...
...and indoor staining.
This morning marked the inaugural coffee around the new pub, which has yet to be named.
As a bonus to the post, here's young Master Eejee with his monkey.  He isn't crawling yet, but he shouts triumphantly when he manages to get up on his knees, so he will get to crawling in no time.

Sunday evening

Hobbitlings at the table playing with playdough.  You can see the Mayor's latest creation, the pub bench (base is mostly done, but the Mayor is still working on the back).

Ah-hah - he is not right handed!
