As a current bartender in our early 20s, I had no ambitions to own a business, let alone a beach bar.
Back then I just wanted to make enough currency to both spend money our bills plus always have fun with our friends on the weekends plus in the fourths when I was away from work. My work ethic wasn’t what it is this week, that is for sure. I also drank a lot of alcohol both on the job plus when I got home, making things even worse for our drive plus determination. At 1 point a friend of mine accidentally died falling asleep on her porch while I was in subzero rapidly decreasing temperatures 1 night when she came lake home from the bar so drunk that she couldn’t manage to unlock her front door. Her buddy saw him slouched down in a ball on her front porch with her keys on the doormat next to him. I was devastated by the news plus started going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings the next day. While I never completely quit drinking alcohol, I stopped drinking more than a few times a month plus dropped the amount of liquor I was consuming by about 90%. After forming a healthier relationship with alcohol, I noticed our work ethic naturally increase. Now I’m proud to say I own a Tiki Bar right on the beach plus I just paid to build a brand current concrete deck that is reinforced with galvanized steel rebar tie wire. This type of rebar tie wire is resistant to long term corrosion from both salt plus moisture. Compared to non-zinc coated rebar tie wire, the galvanized 14 gauge steel rebar tie wire is supposed to last longer with the least amount of corrosion.
