Just thought I'd share as I've been busy gluing (and selotaping) lots of beer cans the past 2 days!

Nearly run out of cans though, so have to have some friends round!

I can't wait until we move out of the house....just so we can put the whole thing out on the recycling bin day :biggrin:. I wonder what the bin men would make of it :biggrin:

oh, we just love people like you.... Not! Suddenly increasing the load and throwing the routine out.

And it looks like you've mixed Steel and Aluminium.:biggrin:

And glue and selotape....so some plastic too :biggrin:. I'm not sure it'll fit in our bin :wacko:

I reckon the bin men would probably take it home and sell it....it must be worth a good £10,000 as a piece of modern art (when finished)

Sellotape. It's a brand name, use a capital and spell it right... Blooming students...

We never did anything like that - we wouldn't often sink to beer out of cans, bottles were more our style. We did have a fairly good heap of pizza boxes at one stage.

And there was the year my bf collected about 30 tip rescued bikes on the lawn.

SeLloPtApE? :wacko: Used Uhhhhhuuuuuu glue. It's not spelt like that, but I always says it like that :biggrin:

Shop up the road is quite good value for a big box of beers....a Sainsbury's basics red wine wall wouldn't be quite as easy to construct :biggrin:

Lightweight - we had a pyramid that reached from table to ceiling - and all of Tennants Super (That'll explain the 2:2then).

It was going to be all Carlsberg....probably the best beer wall in the world....but that didn't work. When we had other brands I had an idea to make it a Tetris wall, so the other cans looks like the blocks...but that was far too much effort :wacko:

So is Hoover but we use it generically now.

It's become a verb as has selllotaping, I believe. In the vernacular at least.

There is a house in Hartlepool (North East England) that has at least one full external side of the house covered in beer cans(maybe 2). Arranged to make a pattern and also shaped around the building. Cant find a pic of it unfortunatelly.
