Let's Do it Ourselves, We Said. How Hard Can it Be, We Said.

10/28/2015

Howdily doodily! Come gather around this ol' blog as I ramble about lamps and lumber and so forth. We've been keeping ourselves busy around here, getting ready to really ramp things up once our contractors are done doing their thing (The end is near! They started painting! Admittedly, they did run out of paint halfway through, but it's still a major improvement). 
Picture
The Bone Up Tap Handle Factory* is still churning along, getting those suckers all polished up and ready for some use and abuse out in the field.
And in the meantime, we've been working on a secret project! Well, OK, it's not so much secret as it is something that didn't seem all that interesting while we were working on it (the in-progress photos would have predominately featured broken glass and yelling). But it's pretty cool now! As part of our exhaustive efforts to create just the right ambiance for the taproom, we've spent a lot of time exploring, discussing, and trying out our various lighting options.** And after exhaustively delving into the details, we ended up displaying a remarkable inability to learn from our own past experiences, saying "let's just make it ourselves! How hard can it be?" And, well, we should know by now that the answer to that question is "harder than we ever expected." But after a whole bunch of trial and error (mostly error) we emerged victorious with a case of sweet-ass growler lamps! Check 'em out!

Now all we need to do is get Jared to stop trying to tell "The Tale of the Haunted Mash Tun"
Don't touch that dial just yet - we have more things to say! You may recall us mentioning our efforts to make the building we inhabit look "less abandoned." Well, we must have done something right*** because now we have neighbors! The cool cats over at Boston Bit Fest have set up shop right next door to us! So now our building has beer and video games covered, all we need is a beef jerky manufacturer and we'll be set​.

And in this week's People Are Writing About Us For Some Reason feature: we made it into BostInno's New and Badass Craft Breweries list over the weekend! The list is definitely worth checking out - a few of these up-and-coming establishments are news to us as well. These are exciting times indeed!

Okay here's one more of the lamp c'mon how cool do they look
*Jimbo and Jared, two full-grown adults who still feel like somebody should be supervising their power tool usage.
**We've come across a surprising number of seemingly small details that have required serious thought. Over the past few months we've become temporary experts in light bulbs, security cameras, paint/stain/polyurethane, sandpaper, water heaters, and a whole bunch of other stuff we'd never previously bothered to put much thought into.

So where's the picture of the half-painted roof????

What's the inside look like now? Outside??

It's in that bottom picture! See how the ceiling is black in the front of the room and white towards the back?
But anyway, the ceiling is all painted by now so that's largely moot.

I make jerky, looking to do it on a commercial level. You got a space for me there, I'll take it!
