The Start

Finally! After 2 years of Dept of Buildings(DOB) Bureaucratic red tape and delays(we could write a book) Rudy's backyard renovation has begun! The job is estimated to take 11 weeks starting from may 20th that should be about auguest 5th!! We plan to have a nice deck overlooking some of the yard. We are planing to have some nice lighting and maybe am old fashioned turn of the century street lamp or two for soft illumination and atmoshepere. We also plan to add some greenery which Raul a Rudy's regular and plant expert has offered to help us with. We will have a dedicated RESTROOMS in the backyard area not a portepotty but something real nice. We will also upgrade and expand Rudy's restrooms inside the bar. We are sure the ladies will be happy to hear this. When the yard open we will continue to show the yankees and mets at night projected on the 200sq foot screen(our neighnors wall.)
Thank you everyone who signed our petition and supported us in out crazy attemp to do more business, pay more taxes and maybe employ more people who also will pay more taxes. We will try and post a daily chronical of Rudy's barkyard progress if you care to follow along. It's going to be great.

P.S. Suggestion welcome

Thank you everyone
