Glad you guys like it! Appreciate all the comments!

littlegiles, thanks for asking about the bar top. We've been giving it a lot of thought. I'm going for a dark, natural wood look, but Dave has some great ideas about adding tiki accents to it. I'll post pics below of our bar top progress so far!

RichC and davidd, thank you! Your comments reminded me that it's been a few days since I've noted that ALL of this work IS being done by a professional -- Dave! He's a carpenter, craftsman, artist, you name it. I'm trying to get him to comment on here! We also have Everett, who works with Dave. He's no slouch, either.

Okay, here are some pics from the past few days.

This is a picture from Friday night. You can see some of the bar wood detail, and the back bar bamboo design in place. (Those are tiered shelves within the bamboo slats for bottles.)

The next picture is from late Sunday afternoon. Dave put in a full weekend and spent Sunday doing insulation. (Required to make my Shack a four-season hideaway!)

Here's a good one of the bar top thus far...

This is how we left it late last night. (Dave finally agreed to call it a day.)

Lastly, Dave and Everett did nearly all the sheathing today.

Will post more soon!
