Thanks Tikiville! You're not kidding when you say it's tough to find tropical materials! Especially in March in Ontario!!

Hasn't been much progress due to March having a split personality when it comes to weather...from 15 degrees Celsius (59 F) to -7 (19 F) in 24 hrs....add in some rain, freezing rain, sleet and ice pellets welcome to Springtime In Canada!

I did manage some work though. I got the bamboo added around the bartop and of course couldn't resists adding some lights!

Then the inside of the bar got paneled in, but not before wiring it for power as well. I now have a simple plug in going to two outlets inside for blenders, stereos etc...

Please note..the skulls will be painted up later and put on bamboo sticks in the garden to ward off evil spirits, party poopers and ex-wives/husbands.

This tile will be for the bar-top which came all the way from Texas! Tiki muse Jen (whom I realized later is at fault for bringing up the tiki bar in the first place..it's all her fault) used to have this tile in her home...she loved it so much she brought three boxes to Canada when she moved. She knows it will go to a good home!

Finally...some way cool retro beach chairs which I won in an auction here locally...$45!!

The drumming just keeps getting louder and louder!! Brr...need to warm up a bit...
