Wow. I spend a few days away from the thread, and here's what I return to?!? Chemicals!? Worse: MY BAR'S FALLEN AND IT CAN'T GET UP!!!

Actually, I'm glad I asked the question. I don't want any problems in the future (with a rusted out bar OR a third eye), so I guess it makes sense to get galvanized fasteners. It's a good thing that I'm doing this now. Pretty soon the bar will be up and ready for food and drinks. The area where I will be using for a cutting board I do plan to cover it with something (again, any suggestions???). Also, all the plywood is untreated. I've used a stain/polyurethane on it. When the whole thing is finished, I plan to do one final, thorough coat of polyurethane on the entire bar - top to bottom - to give it a good, thick coat.

I've made some progress. I actually have installed a sink, and it's just a matter of time before I get a plumber in to hook it up. I've also made room for a mini-fridge and a whole bunch of cabinets.

Take a look...
