Popular Post NEWKID 27,740 Posted September 25, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 My boys 18th last weekend so we threw a big bash up here, I'm a glutton for punishment so 3 weeks before I said to the Mrs id put an extension on my bar/man cave/glorified shed! Lol The key to this place is it hasn't cost me anything, I have scavenged and pilfered from sites to make it, starting 4 years ago when I was asked to remove a large air conditioning unit that I planned to put up as a tree house for the kids, it nearly tipped the 17m tele handler over it was so heavy so it got "dumped" on a raised platform and became the starting point of the Kev Inn .. some cladding out of the yard, scaffold boards off my mate, steel from a mezz floor we demolished, double glazed doors off my uncle that was a miss measure and a fair bit of graft from me and it became a place where we've had some great nights with mates, no time limits or noise restrictions, it has got messy! Lol It was tight though and with at least 50 coming to Fins do, I thought f**k it ill cut a hole in the back, abd put up a frame extension...as usual the Mrs said "your mental, no chance with only evenings and 2 weekends to do it in"... she should know by now that's red rag to a bull, like most men it was the challenge of the expected fail that drove me on!! Lol Metal off a mezz floor we stripped cladding, mis measures off one of our suppliers, insulation was an over order on a job Timber planking... f**k me what a job, stripped down pallets, every piece cut to size...f***ing hundreds of them!! Scaffold plank floor.. off my mate (go in the yard and help yourself Kev...top man!) Oak bar top...off a mate who had a tree felled and planked, he owed a favour (we still do favours for favours its not all about money!!) Frame for bar out if wood bearers off of sites only cost...electric and lights... I finished 2 hours before the party last Saturday...what a great night...I was a bit knackered but kept up with the youngsters!! Lol 35 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
