Pub Sign

Last weekend I mentioned that Chris and I were working on a project together. It was a gift for Chris's brother-in-law, Craig. Now that we've given Craig the gift (sortof*), I can write about it.

Craig went to college in Florida. (He would be mortified if he knew I don't know which school in Florida, but don't tell, OK?) There's a bar in that town called the Purple Porpoise Pub. From what I understand it was the hangout for Craig and his friends. Now that Craig lives in Chicago, he's turned his game room into a bar of sorts for his friends. He wanted a sign matching the pub back in Florida. So Chris and I made it for him.

Chris did all the wood work -cutting out the shapes, sanding, etc. I did most of the painting. We really had a nice time working on it together and were both pleased with how it turned out. The coolest part was seeing Craig's excitement and all he's seen so far is the picture!

* We realized too late that it was too big to go on the plane. So we took Craig a picture of the sign with a promise to get it shipped. I think Chris is shipping it today.
