I won't be able to make New Years, but I'm keen to check out the bar when she's done. Where abouts are you? My brother is moving to Endowie at the end of the month, I might organise to drop in when I visit him in the new year.

Hey Mr Freelance, It's what i believe is called "sea-grass matting", it's a flooring product but i figured it would make a great textured ceiling covering so i scored it from ebay.. total cost $27, so far have spent less than $100 on the entire project...

It's very "Old School" of you Trav ! Lot's o old poly pop places put flooring on the ceiling so when you fell of your chair you think you're still good to go. or something like that. Lookin good!
