well, thats the best I can do, I think the picture is there?

Like I said, I could work a Mitre saw and power drill, but not very talented, but Im pretty happy with my backyard bar.
Im waiting on the thatched roof to come, should be here this week.
The entire cost, for the bar was 171 dollars in wood and screws.
The sign, I used an piece of 1x6, took some old cruddy corner molding I had in the garage, and spray painted it yellow, it came out looking kind of stained, so I left only one coat, the letters were 1.99 each at Michaels craft store, and I bought a can of flourescent orange to color them. Im going to get a gold color chain, weave some nice rope or something I find that looks good, and rehang the sign, I just used some old cord and keychains to hang it just for the picture.

(I tried very hard to get bamboo to use as the front, I was going to cover it with a bamboo fence, but I decided to go with the decking look instead, Ill put some bamboo around the roof supports and maybe in the corners, still have a little work to do)

now dont make fun of that, thats the first thing I ever built and Im over 50.
It stands straight, and is even.
Im going to bamboo fence in the yard when my I get a chance to go talk to my local village govt, they have a million restrictions regarding fencing, so I want to make sure Im allowed to attach bamboo fencing to chain link, yeah, they are nuts out here on Long Island.
