Backyard project: The Narrow Escape! - Home Tiki Bars

I built the bench and the awning, added some plants, and threw in a few low-voltage lights. I've been doing as much on the weekend and rushing home after work every day to put in a few hours before dinner. Guess I'm a little obsessed, although the lady has been interested in helping out too. From here I'd like to do some bamboo trimwork, more lighting, a long table to go in front of the bench, and of course some outdoor speakers for the Martin Denny. And duh, some sweet Tikis and knicknacks. Here's a flashless shot of the waterfall. It's really hard to get a shot showing the colored light. The lady of the house thinks it's "tacky", but as somebody here says, "there's 'good' bad taste and 'bad' bad taste, and the difference is in the eye of the beholder."
