watch us

We made some videos to show the behind-the-scenes madness involved in building The Joinery. You can watch them below + laugh with us (or at us, whatevs).

Episode 7

The end... or the beginning. In this, the final episode of our little series, we reach the night of our very first soft opening event. It's surreal + wild + really it's just the beginning... 

Episode 6

It’s really almost time, like really really. Watch the changes leading up to the last four weeks before we open the doors!

episode 5

We have food vendors!!! Isn’t that great news!?! <Insert laughing crying emoji face here> It’s definitely kind of hard to have a food hall without any food vendors. So, phew!

Episode 4

We’re getting closer and closer to the end! Or so we think… Get a tour, watch our (almost) breakdown, meet Huckleberry.

Episode 3

We’re finally seeing some progress—demo of the original taproom, knockouts in the concrete block wall on the north + back side of the building, paint on the trusses, and a wrecking ball doing its best to make way for rainwater to seep into the ground. We also attempt to lure/rescue a poor duck who was trapped inside our building.

Episode 2

In episode two, we reflect on the horrors of the wet + stormy December we had in 2018… when our building was roofless. The upside? No more asbestos! Hooray! Also, Sarah is GREAT at budgeting and math. :)

Episode 1

Our very first episode! Meet Jon + me in our first-ever YouTube debut! Here we’re talking about our latest adventure: designing + developing a food hall in our hometown, the very lovely (and hot!) city of Lakeland, Florida. We’re sharing our style inspiration for the space, as well as our biggest fears (phew, little did we know!)…
