I have been kicking around changing my bar and game room into a Tiki lounge. After finding your web site and lurking around for a month or so, I decided to get going on the room. Everything started out ok enough. I fought my way through a gaint roll of mattng to cover the walls above the chair rail on two walls. Tiki-fied the bar re-covered the bar stools, figured out how to split bamboo, etc. Then I found a roll of leopard print material....hmmm... I wonder how that would look on the short wall behind the TV? Called my husband to help me move out the TV and a couple of other assorted stand up game machines.
Oh my gosh! The wall was not wet but moldy with nasty black mold. I have a very bad asthma condition and am very allergic to molds. I had to leave the area, close off the room from the rest of the house and my dear husband had to remove the wall and the shower stall. People before us must have installed the shower themselves. totally messed up job!
So the lounge is on a tempory hold while a new shower and walls go up. I could have really gotten sick from all of this had it not been caught. I'll post some pictures once I can go back into the area again.
Thanks for all your cool ideas keep em coming I really enjoy the board! Also we live in the Chicagoland area , anybody else?
