We built a Pub for ourselves (Progress)

Me and my "brother in law" (for arguments sake) have been working at converting his garage into a place for us to drink beer, watch football and generally doss about in. it's great for all occasions though. here's the fruits of our labours, though the lighting in these pics are a little garish, it actually has that "warmth" and atmos that we want. (he did more work than me though) i previously posted this elsewhere, but a little progress has been made.

We come out of there generally 'off our face'...but it ain't far to get home

Total cost to make...a shocking £206.50pence, majority of stuff bought over a year from car boots and donated or we already had...but we're gonna keep adding to it. (fruit machine is next)

just knock on our door and join us for a pint. we never close.

(actually, we're not open to anybody but ourselves...maybe the odd 'shindig')

blimey, never realised you we're in the business...we're keeping things seventies themed (where possible)...so the carboot sale is our friend mostly. i might purchase a beer branded bar towel, we wanted some of these and have been struggling for them.

from the shockingly hideous pub wallpaper shop...not really from a carboot...we pride ourselves on cheap crap. the idea is to be tacky aswell.

nice wallpaper would ruin it.
