My roomate and I were responsible for completing the remodel for the new design space at Xikar in Kansas City, MO. When I arrived the first day, they had already framed and installed the drywall throughout the space. Our job was to begin by tidying up the space, and then start mudding and tapping the drywall. Our lists quickly lengthed as the project ensued, with each day bringing new challenges. Overall, it was a fun project, in which, I got to work with a bunch of really great people. Sorry for not taking more pictures earlier on in the project. Please enjoy some of the pictures from and after the remodel.
