25. The Lack of Chalkboards

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

You’re not gonna believe this, but chalkboards don’t exist any more.

How do we know? Well, basically we thought that the task of buying a chalk board was gonna be the easiest step for us. Nope. We searched in ever single store that we could drive to, in the normal driving vicinity, and guess what? They were no where to be found. We couldn’t find chalkboards anywhere. Ether that, or we really are in the middle of no where.

But in truth, it’s hard believe that in this day and age chalkboards do NOT exist.

So we found us a sink instead.

But back to the chalk board.

So basically what had to happen is the same exact process that seemed to happen with everything on this project.

We had to make it ourselves.

Below – Brian creates the frame for the what would be the size of the chalk board, which is gonna be placed on the wall as our menu.

With that frame done, it was now time to make the black board section of our chalk board. It amazed me that you can really just buy the material for a chalk board and lay it down anywhere, then boom, you have a place to write with chalk.

At the same that Brian was putting the works on the chalk board, it was also time we finished up the cabinet doors that were gonna be placed on the back counter. This would be another bit of fakery for the sake of movie making, because there is not gonna be any cabinet’s, just the door. But these doors needed color though. So what batter color than the awesome blue that we’ve been rocking the whole time.

And now it’s dark outside.

Which means its time to stop working cause we can’t see, and it’s very cold at night time.

Below- Our only warmth is this working light.

It’s so nice.

Tune in next time as there’s a possibility that our hair styles will change even more!
