The Cottage - Irish Pub with a difference ! Brest

After having slept for 15 years during an interesting, but lacklustre teaching career, “Sleeping Beauty” has finally awoken to present you with “THE” project of the year ! A return-trip to a job and environment that I have missed and am passionate about! A little background : 2 wonderful children, more than 11 years in the pub business, 15 years of teaching, and the on-going dream of opening my own pub “THE COTTAGE” . A “Superduper” Irish Pub with a difference here in Brest! But not just anywhere!

Allocation of funds

To avoid robbing a bank, I need your help!!!!!!!!! <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FwYZxn1CKLOE%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&wmode=opaque&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DwYZxn1CKLOE&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FwYZxn1CKLOE%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe> So, this is it! You understand now that I need your help to re-furbish the bar and transform it into a fabulous, cosy, warm, cottage where I can welcome you all. Your donations will complement the bank loan, which is not enough for all the interior design, furniture, materials, decoration necessary in refurbishing my pub. Oh yes, starting my own business costs a lot, especially for the creation, installation and equipment for the professional kitchen (but this is included in my bank loan). But, other work needs to be done – the ladies and gents need to be renovated : (see the bill below in french!) Travaux Cuisine et Toilettes · Implantation, pose d'ossature, pose d'isolation, pose de plaque de placo, collage des bandes pour le cuisine et bar 755€ · Implantation, pose d'ossature, pose d'isolation, pose de plaque de placo collage des bandes papier pour cloisons de séparation dans toilettes 1 925,00€ · Pose d'une porte à galendage 108,00€ · Pose d'une bloc porte 93 accès handicapé 80.00€ · Pose d'une trappe de visite 50,00€ TOTAL : 2918€ The bar floor has to be re-floored : · Préparation of the surface and putting down of wooden parquet 1 690,00€ Your donations will firstly help to finance some of the above. But, though we plan on recycling a lot of the furniture already in the bar to minimize the cost, we still need chairs, lights, curtains, a wooden bar, tables and chairs outside. coût : 4700€ And I need kitchen utensils, saucepans, frying pans etc….. coût : 627€ And delph, knives and forks and spoons, glasses, table cloths etc, to welcome you « in style ! » Plates : coût 590€ Knives/Forks/Spoons: coût 520€ Glasseses : coût 364€ Tablecloths : coût 60€ (5X12euros) Mugs : coût : 100€ Teatowels : coût : 60€ TOTAL :2321€ Your contributions will help finance some of the interior design Ethanol Fireplace coût : 1550€ and mantlepiece: coût : 50€ Finally, I believe it is important to have good communication strategies, to share upcoming events such as concerts, expositions, sessions etc, and if your contributions go over my objective, that extra money will go to financing a professional website for The Cottage And last but not least, the exterior needs painting and a sign needs to be made, your contributions, again, if they go over my objective, will go towards this. A huge thank you to all of you from the bottom of my heart ! <img alt="We_can_do_it-1485800888" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/388543/We_can_do_it-1485800888.jpg"> Your donations will change my life, and life in Brest for the locals!!!!!! I cannot thank you enough for your generosity, so please leave me your email address so that I can send you all an invitation to the opening night of my superduper pub !!!!!!!! thecottage.irishpub@gmail.com <img alt="Thank_you-1485800687" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/388541/Thank_you-1485800687.jpg"> NOTE : If you wish, you can give several donations, it is up to you!
