Thanks for all the kind words everyone. The thatching is real, gonna consider synthetic when it's time to replace, thanks! As for the name, I live in Charleston, on James Island. The name is a sort of play off of a very popular place on Daniel Island. The Daniel Island Grill, which is most commonly referred to as "The DIG". So being this is our "James Island Getaway", we thought The J.I.G. would be cool. Funny thing is, I can see the ocean from the bar, best music selections for me are Buffet, Marley, Beach Boys, Chesney, Kracker,etc... Anything setting the tropical or beach scene/mood. But it never fails, someone will get to my laptop and Will Smith's "Gettin' Jiggy with it" will come on the stereo and liven things up a bit more! lol
And a note on the stools, as I said earlier, they are not the easiest to assemble. Have to trim here and there to get the fit right on a couple of them. But this past weekend had a 6'9" 315lb football player and a 400lb work buddy riding a couple of them, and they were up to the challenge! Cant beat them for the $$$! If you like the look. Thanks again, and more pics coming soon hopefully!
