Updated pics of my bar the Pi-Yi Grotto - Tiki Carving

Take a look! I decided to go with a real time-worn, rustic feel so I ripped the existing lights out to leave gaping holes in the facade and created the look of tropical vines by having live Romex cable hang down into the room. Next I attached some furring strips to the quaint asbestos tiled ceiling to liven it up a bit! Finally here's an overview of the new and improved Pi-Yi Grotto - come on in, have a drink but watch your step, mind the live wires, look out for stray fasteners, don't pay any attention to the upended furniture and just move that cordless drill off the barstool! The bar is open! More photos to come soon...I'm contemplating a new name for the bar...Johntiki's Shit Hole - wadda ya think?
