Nice looking bar! I really dig the size. You could tiki hunt for the next 20 years and not run out of room! We have a 2-story house with a slab foundation so our "basement" is actually the bottom floor. The Kon Tiki Paradise Room is in a front room connected to a guest suite with a bedroom, master bath, and hall. So if you get really rip-snorted there's no need to climb stairs...For those of us with a basement-A solution for the "ceiling flotsam" deficit: I lashed a large bamboo framework together with some fairly wide chinese bamboo-square with two center braces. Drilled holes straight through the diameter at the four corners and ran an eye-bolt through. Measure for four ceiling hooks or spreaders (you get the idea), hang and viola! Something to hang stuff on that doesn't destroy your ceiling with ten million staple holes. We have two war shields, a blowgun, some Honu's, shell sculptures, netting, and a genuine Duke Kahonamoku signature model uke up there...
