Bar Project Series #14: Primed and Painted Bar Wall and other Misc

Although the spackling, caulking and painting can be a bit of a pain, it is a signal that we are moving out of the construction phase and moving into the finishing phase.

Items Accomplished:
 - Added quarter round between bar wall and bar top to cover the gap
 - Spackled and caulked quarter round
 - Spackled all the trim on front of bar wall
 - Caulked all the trim on front of bar wall
 - Touched up drywall mud (will probably need to touch up some more pin holes later... but it's good enough from 10ft away... haha)
 - Primed bar wall and trim inside and out
 - Installed junction boxes inside stub wall cabinets
 - Painted bar wall and trim inside and out (Haven't installed inside bar wall baseboard yet)
 - Sanded, prepped and stained under bar top (Just above stub wall cabinet)
 - Leveled and mounted stub wall lower cabinets
 - Cut stub wall counter top to fit wall
 - Attached build up blocks to counter top for mounting and laminate end caps (still need to attach laminate and file to fit)
 - Hooked up electrical for stub wall
 - Filled holes in bar top with wood putty (Still need to sand and touch-up)
 - Had to Epoxy the Handle back on the Refrigerator. It must have gotten damaged in shipping... but I've had the unit for a while and didn't see an easy way to get a new handle because it was tack welded on.
 - Set, siliconed and secured Sink and Faucet
 - Built all water supply lines (just need to hook up to water supply)
 - Set, puttied and secured sink strainer
