A nice little built in bar, but with a little bit of added function!

What happens here

The countertop of the bar is meticulously constructed using additional composite decking boards. This step involves precise measurements and cuts to fit the boards together, forming a continuous surface. A specific cutout is created within the countertop, likely intended to accommodate an integrated feature such as a cooler, sink, or trash receptacle. Workers ensure that all edges are clean and that the boards are securely fastened to the underlying frame.

Goal: Create a functional composite countertop with an opening for an accessory
