With the big re-opening party just 3 weeks away, there's still ALOT of work to be done!! First, here's the care package Kingstiedye sent me to help redecorate... Thanks bullet!! Super cool of you to help out. That package totally made my day! They'll get places of honor when the rebuild is complete. On to the build out.... to install the lower wall (a 3' bamboo fence) I had to first attach some 2x4s to the wall... Then paint them so you cant see em thru the gaps in the fence... Repeat a zillion times, and you're ready to attach the fence to the wall.... Used 3" caps to top the fence, and some 3" half-rounds to hide the seams on the matting. And although its waaaay to early to hang shelving, I had to see what the tiki room drummers looked like on the wall.... More to come soon!! and here's the link to the party invite if anyone wants to come... http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=21223&forum=4&1

I'm just curious, why did you need the 2 by 4's under the bamboo fencing? I would like to try something like that with my lauhala matting and you've definitely got it figured.
