But I cannot take the credit for the hard carpentry skills. I have a fantastic contractor that swings the hammer! I designed the bar but he and another gentleman did the heavy duty stuff. The house was built in the early '50's. The bamboo painting I did all myself and while I don't think they cursed too much, I know they scratched their heads a couple times thinking.. "Now HOW are we gonna get it to work the way she wants it??" Haha! Jamie71 - I know JUST how you feel. In a few more days I'll be able to do JUST what you pictured... RELAX and have a cocktail or 2.. ahhhhhhhhhh .. SO close I can almost taste it! Matt - SO so sorry it's taken me this long to get back with you on the sink. Unfortunately, I don't have the plumbing to warrant one but oh how the offer is much appreciated! I'm looking forward to the grand opening, too! It's going to be a lovely afternoon and evening, I believe. bongofury - Thank you! The sea wall is pretty much finished as is. With the exception of a large tiki added in the corner. The colors are very subtle and the credit goes to my Mom nd my son. They did a really terrific job on it and had fun in the process which is what this whole experience really is all about! I am DONE with taping now, too! I would have used a stencil but I wanted a truly erratic feel to the bamboo. No two poles are the same! It's going to feel really good to be able to sit back and enjoy the hard work this weekend :)
