Sunday Morning

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Here is a look into our Sunday morning preparation. This is our third day of service and this is why updates have been very few and far between. We will begin posting images of dishes and more information about the VOLT kitchen.

Cheers!

A Couple More Before Pics

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

We are so close to the grand opening. So one more look back before we begin posting the new. I can’t get over the transformation and once you see the inside you won’t believe it either.

This is the lounge. We now have steps cut in front of the window to lead to the courtyard.

The bar is in front of these two windows. Notice the snow on top of the shed. We’ve been working on this for a while.

Here is the dining room. Wondering what those orbs of light are?

And the conservatory. Take a close look at the distressed floor. These floors were sanded today to reveal the original hardwood floor. Its really just beautiful. The plaid wallpaper did have to go though.

The transformation is just stunning.

A look back

This video was taken early May. Now we have walls and furniture. It’s amazing to see how far we have come in just 8 weeks.

Some friends were just too thirsty to wait any longer for the bar to complete.

Nearing Completion

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

We have witnessed many changes of the Houck Mansion as we bring VOLT to fruition. The carpet will be installed in the main dining room on the fourth, the chef’s dining room will get its final coat of paint, and the tile floors will get the final touch of grout. The transformation has been exciting and when we get through the weekend we should have one completed dining room. So sorry to say for all of the passer-by’s it is time to seal the windows for the last couple of weeks so we can bring the finishes to life and set the dining room for service. We want the opening of VOLT’s dining rooms to be surprise for all of our guests, one of the exciting parts of playing host is to see the initial reaction of our guests when they walk through our door. We are very close to opening and cannot wait to hear the call of the first order into the kitchen.
