That is going to look great!!! You have a beautiful backyard and the burn turned out nice.

You've already got the torches and the palm trees goin' on, gonna look nice! Keep us posted.

Very nice so far! Can't wait to see how the build develops.

:)

Thanks guys for the comments !! more to come soon. :) Will post a peek of the sign for it soon.

Sneaky Peaky on the sign. :wink:

Nice!!!! Im staying tuned to the build :)

Go, go, go

Don't forget to wire some outlets for additional decorative lighting, some glass floats, Puffer Fish etc.

One more time, I'm new to the site and love what I've seen so far especially the home tiki bar section.

Got a few more pics here folks. Got the thatch roof put on and im quite happy with things so far. Also had the baby wired up with multiple plugs everywhere. This baby sits where we used to have our spa, so its wired for 220, which leaves me plenty of power. Little bit more pics below.

Here is the full sign which is almost finished.

You got some good bones to work with, Now decorate!
want to see pics of that first cocktail when its done!

Great start. That sign is very very cool. Can't wait to see more. Remember "layers, layers, layers".

This guy keeps things in order when im not around ! :wink: its o'l Capt Jack !!

I had worked on restoring an old pub table that i had sittin the garage. sanded it and restained and sealed it for out doors. It didn't have any chairs to go with it so i went ahead and made some. i liked them so much that i decided to turn them out for the Rhummba !! The other one i did in the pic was a prototype recliner which needs some serious refining. the legs are too bulky and the chair ways a ton LoL !! but hey ! its a proto type and gotta start somewhere !! :wink:Hope You all like !!

Here is a pic of the finished sign for the Rhummba. it was done by a good friend of mine who is a professional artist. Her work is awesome !! Hope you guys like it. Its gonna go into the middle of a bigger sign which will be framed out in Turtle Bamboo strips and then jungle folige added to it, ala Disney Jungle Cruise style. Tell me what you guys think !! :) If you guys have any questions about anything or the sign just shoot me a message. Her work is very reasonable. Thanks again for lookin !

Sign, and bar, look great. Blonde, red and dark, one of each flavor.

HaHa i like the firecracker behind the bar cause shes tryin ta get me drunk !! just gotta watch out for the lil guy behind the bar or he'll put some voodoo hex on ya !! lol

I thought maybe you put the firecracker behind the bar because she couldn't find her shorts! :D

(Edited to remove a question that had already been answered :) )

Sweet skeletons! Just may have to borrow that idea! Are these guys halloween shop purchases? Did you just glue them into position? Waterproofing? Info on the dead guys please.

Bought these online from Buckey skeletons. unscrewd them all and then started posing them and hotgun gluing them. when it came to the hands i cut each digit to reform them to hold the spears or point etc. made the outfits outta extra thatch, and small child hula skirts from Michaels. didnt seal them as they are made outta hard plastic. They are just smaller versions of my capt jack up in the crows nest. need to get crackin as Luau is this coming Saturday !!my friends think im nutzz but i love doing this stuff !!
