A lot of you STR people are pretty good at decorating.My interior decorator skills are pretty basic, maybe you can help me.I have the main piece, the big black 3 level bar.I did a photo mockup of it with some kind of woven bamboo screen behind it and a mirror above.This is my home office, and though not a hard drinker, I like to have a mini-bar for those that are.The bar is open in the back and front, gloss black, glass and chrome.It's 4 foot tall, 4 foot long and about 15 inches deep.So what are your thoughts on setting it up.I have been thinking about having a black stone top made for it, for durability against spills.Does my setup look attractive, or could it use some sprucing up?

Here's what I'd do: 1) Set up a sit-down meeting with the management of this company, 2) Don't ask, DEMAND that they give you a new house in an area that has been cleared for underground water, 3) Give them a time limit, I'd suggest no more than 1-2 weeks to hear back about a positive solution, 4) Contact an attorney today and have them standing by to move aggressively towards this builder if you do not get the right answer, 5) DO NOT back down an inch, no matter what they say. 6) Don't forget the power of the Media in general especially Social Media, something as egregious as this could ruin this company.And always remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease....Get after this!
