If it's Friday this must be boredom

Plan 1: Turn my cube into a corner shop.
Plan 2: Build a bar into a 19" rack cab.

The first idea is pure class. Will you sell overpriced beans and Pot Noodles for nearly £2?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Yes. I already have some tins of Spam. I'll need an illuminated B&H sign (or 'Regal' if I can find one) and a 'No more than two children under 14. No school bags' one.)

And...
A lottery machine
Top shelf mags in plastic bags
Two cases of wifebeater

And some penny sweets. Old ones. I remember these eggs, like mini eggs but they weren't chocolate, they were closer to being jelly beans...

Sweetie jars
Fags

I shall be doing (2) as well - in aluminium. I also have to make it in such a way as I can get it through the opening into the loft where the servers will live.

I rather imagined you might.

I've got a source for optics, bar towels, glasses and the like. I just need to find a recently deceased pub so I can cut a 19" slice out of the bar. And maybe one of those wee beer-pumps that work on biggish tins. (Hey, can anyone say 'Watney's party seven?')

Maybe I should get a nasty Tiffany-knock-off lampshade to hang inside the top of the cab? Or perhaps some antique farm implements in a glass-fronted box or a plaque that reads 'Free beer tomorrow.'?

Bar chunk is already round here at Gormenbat. R. wants to demolish my front shop counter.

Aha! Excellent.

I've got blades for the Big Sabre Saw marked 'Wood And Nails'. That'll get it.

You could build your cube into a 19" rack and have all your work done by a homonoculus.

Looks like a perfect excuse to get one of these:

Quite, but have you seen the prices on the things?

I think it would be cheaper to get a slide-front chiller from Comet. (But when I measured one, it was just over the 19")

Hello, did you get my email? ;)

[hirez.livejournal.com]

I fear not.

Oh... hirez @ livejournal.com doesn't work since I don't have a paid account anymore. If that was where you sent it.

Try hirez [at ] libeljournal [dot] com.

Aha, that will explain it as I have sent a couple this week! Serves me right for assuming everyone is a WHORE OF LIVEJOURNAL!! ;)

Anyway, I sent one on monday apologising for not having my phone switched on and thus missing what would have been a very welcome visitation and another one yesterday to see if it was still okay for us to come with you on sunday? :)

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Ah, right. No problem.

[medusa.livejournal.com]

Excellent stuff! Are you still going to go and look at Zone Ten? ;)

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Auntie Pat said I mustn't.

(Yes, if we go past it early enough.)

[medusa.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Will make sure we are ready nice and early then... :)
