The Keat Inn

Description:

This is how I was able to make a Chicago fireman cry. Father-in-law to my nephew, this man was retiring from the Chicago fire department. We conversed about hobbies which led to a visit to his basement where a gorgeous bar had been built for entertainment purposes. He joked that his wife wouldn't let him out a sign over the stairwell naming the basement "the keat inn". As conversation goes I gave him my phone number if he wanted anything made to decorate further. He soon texted me the dimensions of his egress window and I made this. He had no idea I was building his sign that couldn't hang at the entrance. When we unveiled it he stood there speechless with a tear in his eyes. The hugs were fantastic!!!  He put it on hinges and it hangs over his egress window while allowing an escape if needed.
