Hapa Haole Hideaway Rebuild Again! - Open - Home Tiki Bars

I wanted to put the images and things on here that I myself wanted to see. We moved the bar top back to a 10 inch overhang instead of 12 and it makes a big difference visually. It'll be better. Also cutting an inch off the back so we have just a one inch overhang in back. That should still keep spills from running down the back. It makes the bar top much smaller. Skip, I think you are right. We have decided that the padded arm rest is not necesary and will be a big expense (4 yards of material is easily $100) and it'll be fine without it. Just do a more "plain" bar top with a trim edge. Might just stain the top wood, or, as you say, get a veneer. The mini split heat pump is going in tomorrow. May work on the foot rest tomorrow as well. Will update as we can.
