I won't be able to make it into work today because I built something that I can get stuck inside with nothing but entertainment to pass the time until somebody rescues me.

IM one of your friends or relatives and get them to call your mom or come over and unlock the door

Looks like I'll have to install a messenger on my file server (the system that shouldn't even be used fro browsing like I am now!). I'm not really panicing yet... Just hoping she can hear me banging from in the house before it's time for work.


You have a chick in there with you? Whats the rush? :beer: to you!
What are you talking about? He's in a BARN. He won't be banging chicks... :Q

I actually had BOTH the cordless and cellular phone in here with me last night. She took both.
Alright, who wants the number? She got home at 7AM so I guarantee you that she's sleeping and you will be entertained after waking her up. ;) I'll PM it to the first person who will seriously try it!

You built a barn/something that you go in that can be locked from the outside with no way to open it from the inside? What were you thinking?

it's a barn, so worse comes to worst kick your way out. the outside walls are just nailed in (i'm just guessing, but who'd waste time screwing?) find a tool and pry/kick a wall off.

or climb out your window you pansy.

Heh, first thing I had to do when I got up was go back inside to urinate. Had to use my Wendy's cup from last night. Delicious!

That's the handle that came with the kit from Lowes (Built by their contractors really). The only way to make it any differently would be to fix the scond door so it wouldn't move and attach a block that you can drill into for the other door to lock with.

btw, why is the barn crooked?

It's not. The steps are on the ground.. The ground is not level. The suspended barn IS level.

The window is not equipped with a window-unit AC. we made it the only windw so that there would be no reflection on the screen. Yeah, the walls are particle-board so I could just whizz on them and they'd fall apart. Don't want to resort to destruction when there are many options :)

What do you know! I guess I DO have the cell phone after all but it just died when I tried to answer Pablo :( Oh well, back to the Z680 plan. Yeah, I'm planning on recording my voice and waking her up with it. Sure hope the neighbors who keep calling the pound on my dog wont say anything about it.

Why did you have to use that handle? Maybe you should have springed an extra $5 and bought a different handle and fixed the door so you could open it from the inside.:confused:
