Look what happened!

I wish there was a story to tell about this, but there really isn’t. We rode up to the set like we usually do and…
There it was.

Long story short (I guess) I’m just gonna say that I wanted that thing knocked down anyway.
Below – The Diner so far. Now with it’s newly created stools. I dig.

A real cool thing came with the stools when we bought them, AGE!
You really can’t buy that type of age anywhere. We just thought it was a cool incentive. In the ad it said that the stools came with 60 years of history. I wonder what type of people have sat in these stools in the past 60 years? Who’s butts have glided across leather, what stories their asses can tell, where did they go, who they’ve met. Where are they now??
I bet they didn’t know that 60 years later that they would be in a feature film by two crazy film makers.
But we did.

The stools still had to be melded together to complete the illusion, but that could wait.

Below -After a lot of rubber mallet hammering, we have the beginning looks of the wall slot. Soon will come the kitchen set dressing behind the wall and then we can slide plates of food across it all day long. That should really put it together.

Below – Ohh spacious.

We also took some aluminum and connected it to the wall. Will it stay, will we take it off, time will can only tell.

Below – Things are getting messy again.


Below – Another view of the stools, the booths and our floor. Where do we go from here?

I know that some of the stools are gonna go to a stool hospital. Their heads have fallen off.

It’s also about time to start thinking about what the outside of the diner is gonna look like. We have the ideas, but stay tuned to see what we actually do.
