The Bar - Planning Phase

Figure i may as well start planning for when im ready to start kegging (which will happen). The fact of the matter is that i will need a nice place from which to dispense the wonderful (hopefully) brews, and there is a fair bit of room back home at in the shed. So i'm thinking, one big fridge, 4 kegs worth of beer or whatnot, and a nice little bar area. At this stage I think a dark ale of some descripition, a pale or a bitter, an achololic lemonade or something else that chicks would like, and then aternate between a lager(summer), an apple cider(when i feel like it) or a ginger beer(winter).
Brilliant.
But the actual structure? Well it can't be too big, perhaps just a little corner shape, coming out from against the wall next to the roll-up door, so i can sit in it like a proper litte bartender and still be part of the convos at the couch-and-carpet area, which is across the other side of the roll-up door (its a big shed, with naught but couches, a drum kit, a table hockey table, and some storage shelves). The fridge would have to be outside, on a slab on concrete with a little lean-to around it built of left-over metal from the shed itself. I'd probably have to put a garden around it...perhaps i can turn it into a vegie garden...
I'm thinking put a roof on the bar inside, kinda old-style veranda thing, with corrugated iron. Probably use corrugated iron on the actual bar structure too, we've got shiteloads of it lying around that is never going to be used. It'll need a sink, which nescesitates running water, which shall be interesting, and I'll need to pick up some various sized glasses somewhere, and some bar mats. This will take some time. I'll put some plans up sometime soon, whenever i get around to putting them on the computer.
Cheers.
