After putting the fountain in that spot, I kinda realized (with PolyPop's help) that I needed to finish off that corner of the bar a little better. Right now, The Breezeway ends and just kinda runs into the reality of my backyard… Like a BBQ, hose reel, and Thunderbird parts… Ruins that escapist feeling.

See? (The bamboo standing up was there to mock something up.)

So the plan is to build kind of a midcentury screen thing that helps hide part of the house. Closest to the wall will be a hanging jade tile treatment. The other part will be like they did at VenTiki with the cut bamboo laid sideways... Thought that was a really cool idea.

So I got these tiles from an old Trader Vic's via OA. Here's the rough mockup.

Built this frame thing after a bunch of carving, burning, and sealing…

After tying up all of the trellis thing, I screwed it into the frame that I built. All of this was super tedious stuff. You can't really just throw this kind of thing together...

Here it is, installed:

When I get home from work tonight, hopefully I'll get to hanging the tiles! I still need to burn and cut the wood for the rest of the screen thing.
