The Bar - Continued

The ideas are growing. Now I'm thinking about putting it in the southeast corner of the shed, with one fridge hidden behind planking and whatnot, hard against the shelves there. The bar will go in a corner shape around it, and i want to rig up a roof set-up above it, though for that i'll need to improve my wood-working skills, or find something bloody easy to use that'll look good. It's not like it needs to keep out the rain or anything. The main sitting are of the shed will still be where it is at the moment, but I'll put some of the couches over near to the bar, and I'll rig up some bar stools, perhaps i can raid some seats of the various old plows sitting around the far...
It's gonna be good. Beer will be one dark, one pale, one lemonade or similar sweet lovely for the chicks, and either a ginger or a lager, depending on the season, or experimental batches.
So what will i need for all this? Well, more fermenters, kegs, a fridge, taps, plastic glasses and jugs, various materials (I dont know if i'l make the frame for the bar and the roof out of wood or metal, for both I'll need to learn new skills). Embellishments, like nice panneling, nice rims, probably a sink (which needs water...fuck, plumbing too), racks for glasses, maybe a bar fridge under the bar for bottles of stuff, as well as mixers for spirits. (Note to self: build still, or motivate Mull and Carcs to finish theirs). (Further note to self: invest in a brewing fridge and Fridgemate).
