Living Like a Small Green Hairy Fruit

The Construction of Embo,s Bar

July - August 2007 (2 weeks start to finish)

Mark had a dream.  A dream fuelled by his passion for alcohol and all things F1.  Through his dedication and hardwork he has made that dream a reality in just two short weeks.  Yes I am of course talking about the bar, Embo's Bar.  Here you can follow the history of the making of Embo's in full glorious technicolour, marvel at his carpentry and interior decorating skills and wonder, as we did, why the hell he wore the same clothes for the entire fortnight.  Enjoy.

He measured carefully...

...and sawed accurately - avoiding his thumb this time...

...and measured some more...cos he buggered it up the first time...

...and hit lots of things with his hammer - including a china lamp base...

...and put in a bar fridge...

...and suffered at the hands of vandals overnight, yet undetered he continued in his quest...

...and positioned it carefully...

...and put up his F1 car cabinet and made a shelf...

...and crafted a backboard for his optics and arranged his pictures...

...restocked his fridge...

...added the final touches and.... drum roll please....

Embo's Bar was up and running!  Complete with surround sound entertainment and the tiniest flat screen tv you'll ever see in a pub!

Is there no end to the talents of this wonderful husband of mine? 

I'm hoping next week he'll build us a sauna....
