It's been a lot of work but heaps of fun during the process. I've been busy over the holiday break and with a bit of help from my brother and father (even mum helped out with keeping us fed while we worked) I've managed to get it to the stage where I can enjoy it while I finish it off over the next several months. komohana - No, I live a bit further south, not far from a small town called Kingaroy BambooBev - A big shed is an essential for any Aussie bloke, go for it :) harro - Cheers mate, born and raised here in Qld and I'm never leaving. Trouble is, living out in the bush it's hard to find much in the way of tiki. I guess I'll have to make some excuses to head to the coast more often to see what I can find. But at least I have somewhere to put all the goodies I find now Still plenty of work to go but at least it's at the stage where I can use it while I work You can even walk out onto your very own private beach Tiki masks guard the bar from evil spirits Touch screen jukebox Some essentials, but plenty of room for more. Still have to put the doors on the cabinet The roof isn't finished but at least it's starting to feel like the real thing I couldn't afford a real aquarium but this does the job and I never have to worry about cleaning it or the fish dying. I also plan on spending plenty of time watching the footy out here so a big screen tv is essential So there we are, still plenty of work to go - run out of time before the end of last year to put in a basic sink, still have to finish behind the bar and the walls on the front half of the shed. The little tiki guy in the corner will soon have his own decorated area. Lots of patching up and trims yet to go on. The thatch roof needs some work. Plan on putting up a small shelf around the top of most of the walls and plenty more little things as I can get to them. I still need to figure out a way to get some more light behind the bar without ruining the mood as well. And of course, need to find plenty of "tiki" to go in and around the room. But that's all part of the fun of doing this sort of thing isn't it?
