OK, Update!!

I got the bar area framed today, and the OSB up. UPS was supposed to have my thatch on friday but it's been delayed til monday. SO I kept working at it. We also went to a few craft stores today just to see what the selection was like and found one closing out summer decorations so I grabbed a little shark guy drinking a Margareta, some fish netting, a coconut carved guy, and I think that was it.

So we got a little excited playing with decoration ideas, and it's so much nicer just having basic framing in place. I have the plywood to cover the sides as well as the reed material, just need to get on it!!

Here I was adjusting the bar height, took a few tries but I got it :wink:

Here it is framed up, The plywood is temparary, I found craftsman has a nice butcher block top just the right size for 160$ and in bamboo for 210$ I'm so tempted to get bamboo, but $$$...

Here is later tonight with the decor added... Defiantly going to be moved but it's fun for now, and keeps spirits high!!

One Final thought, we are thinking of a Shark theme, like the Shark Oasis, or Shark Bite Cove (we also live very near the river.) Any input?
