Well, I just spent my entire day painstakingly pulling hundreds of bamboo strips down one by one... and I couldn't be happier.

I got word from a friend that an acquaintance of theirs just bought a house with a bamboo bar in the basement they did not want. I assumed it was a free standing bar. Was I ever wrong.

Built in the early 1950s this room had remained unaltered (except for the wallpaper "upgrade" in the '70s). There was even the original left-overs in the crawlspace behind the basement. I told them they should keep it and enjoy it, but the husband wanted his "guy room". Whatever.

Here is all the bamboo loaded up in the old Econoline. They range in length from 3 to 7 1/2 feet, most are about 5 feet long:

Wow Boutiki great score! looks like enough bamboo to make a few bars with if you wish.. what a shame to tear down a great room like that though.. I would have turned it into the Ultimate Tiki Guy Room if I was him... anyways.. any chance you got to keep that ultra funk wallpaper as well?? :wink:
