This weekends rainy day activity, other than finishing the drum* and maybe doing my homework, is building a giant Scrabble board.

I got this idea drunk the other night.

You order four sets of replacement Scrabble tiles (400 tiles) (amazon. not ebay, not hasbro...).
Get/Make a table that is four times the size of a normal scrabble board.
Paint on (900) squares. Laying out pink ones will take a bit of modding since you don't want two triple word scores next to one another. Or print out stickers instead of painting them on.

Your can bar top epoxy the whole finished table if you'd like to use it as well.


I'm also working on designing an 8.5' x 7.5' "ant" farm for bunnies. That will have to wait until the bathroom is done before we can build it.


*the drum, so far, is so amazing that I feel confident about thousands of people seeing it every night.

For my birthday this year my friend made me a normal size scrabble board with ceramic tiles. You can't see it too well, but here is a photo.
