The Tipsy Laird

Some more pics

Ignore the winter insulation will ya ;-)
the rock wall is simply wallpaper that my wife found and added.
This sign was in front of my grandparents cottage (and later home). It was the one thing that I took when we sold the place after my grandmother passed away. It had to go in the pub.

What a great idea. I wish I had that many Celtic friends around in my neighborhood to start one. If I had to "crawl" to my closest friends (MacDonald) it would be uphill throught the woods. Coming home would be easier except for the trees. I have found that coming home from MacDonald's after a few wee drams I have problems with the trees moving about and trying their darndest to trip me! :mrgreen:

Great looking fun pub you've got there.

Brilliant, Colin! The "Tipsy Laird" looks just grand! Now all you need is a pub sign! :mrgreen:

Yet ANOTHER reason to visit BC!

The pub sign is on the "to do list" I have a rough sketch, but haven't painted it out yet.

Note to self: Put the Tipsy Laird in BC on the travel list and pack the Craggenmore

Well now, if you're bringing the Craggenmore I had better stock up the whisky bar a bit more. A friend is spending Christmas in Alberta and is bringing me back a bottle of Oban and Macallan's.

That's what I love about the internet. Everytime I forget about some great idea I had in the past, someone posts something to remind me of it.

I hadn't thought of the English pub approach though. It looks like you did it right! Except, I just set fire to the price of admission. Guess I'll have to restock my humidor.

Thanks for sharing the pics and starting the fermentation of ideas!

Since the drive will take a while from here to there, not sure how much, if any, of the bottle will be left when I get there, especially since the wife likes it too :sad:

How cool is that, Colin! You've just given me a great idea on what to do with our basement when we finally start to renovate. I see a private Irish pub in the future. 8-)

Everyone should have a nice place to retreat. This is the only "room" in the house that isn't full of toys. After all I should respect BC law and not admit anyone under 19 ;-)

That looks great, Colin. I especially like the security system. Now if I could only get my garage cleaned out to do something like that!
