(for now haha) I'll post a ton of pics taken during the construction. My mom and little brother absolutely loved it! I hope you kind people do too :) I started by mounting my carved roof supports, Then my friend and I started on the back display wall, pretty simple just two pallets, with a bamboo curtain mounted over the front. its only mounted with on support screw into the garage, were renting after all. Don't worry its structurally sound, you'll see. starting the roof here, thank god my friend had some wood from another project its cool to me that 85% of the bar was reused timber from, pallets, crap on the side of the road and old furniture. ill show off the one thing we needed to buy fresh material for later. roof structurally finished, mounted to the back wall and the front carved supports. alos started decor on the back wall just for fun. and here is why we needed to buy fresh timber, a custom shelf mounted above the minifridge, the shelfs were measured to fit the pirate ship, large rum bottles and my exceedingly large Fijian bowl now onto some horror/skeleton themed decor to better match the name. and finally some lighting, got these part string lights for 30 bucks on FB marketplace it was absolutly perfect as they were compatible with these light bulbs ive had for about 5 years, also looking for the proper use, so freaking glad i finally do, in this context they look like a sea urchin, or kind of a play on a pufferfish lamp. (hopefully one day ill get some float lamps) also take a peek at all my tiki mugs, I know some are cheesy but I've only been collecting for a little over a month give me a break lol. and to finish up, my menu featuring some tweaked classics, and some orginals inspired by the loved ones in my life. Speaking of loved ones, my mom got me a gift from Trader Sams while on her trip so I had to have my first drink at the bay, the zombie western, the recipe might sound like sacrilege but I have limited supplies here in Australia so again give me a break haha. singing off for now, the temporarily completed, Watson's Bay Of Bones!
