Hi Trader Rick
Welcome to da tribe. I myself am currently redecorating my lanai (patio) for the upcomming summer parties and my wife and I are not highly skilled craftsmen, but we do have good ideas (and tools) so our progress is only slowed by the learning process, time & money. We started by clearing the area, cleaning the floor & laying down a coat of seafoam green outdoor porch paint. Next we repainted the walls & overhead and put up some reed fencing material along the wall behind the bar & fish net above. Lighting is still a work in progress, as I might decide to install more outlets to cut down on the use of extension cords. My coconut palm Ku tiki is in place & the last thing to do is finish the bar (two days away), find some cheep, suitable bar stools and...buy all the BOOZE!!! (always could use more tiki mugs too). After that, things like decorations & additional shelving for bar ware should fall into place.
Aloha,
SWJ
