Looking good so far mate :D The old bar looked pretty cool, so I've got high expectations!

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.

very cool so far- i'll keep tabs on this. love the home bar projects.

What is that on the ceiling? Welcome mats? Woven sisal twine?

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...

Great start Trav... OK if I learn from you before I start mine? Oh, and did I get it right, we're all invited over for New Year's Eve? :wink:

TT

Thats right.. all welcome.. (hopefully the distance will deter the masses)
Also feel free to use some of my ideas.. some are liberated from here anyways...

Nice poster Trav... "Wear your drinking garb", I like that, and would not have thought of it! Please post more pictures as you make progress with your bar.

Tiki Trav,

Congrats on the new bar mate. Had a great time with the Aussies in Cardiff during the RWC after they beat Wales. Sorry they got knocked out but I did pick the Boks to take the cup. Will we see you at Oasis next year?

Of course you had a good time with Aussies! they will generally drink the same amount win or lose..

Seriously hoping to hit the Oasis Trifecta, not sure how at this stage but...well... it's important, and you know what an honour it is to represent your country.. ha ha
Cheers

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!

some new pics....









Looking good, at this rate it'll be really fine by New Year's Eve!!

TT

Thanks Sneaky,... still lots to be done though...

You are really kicking arse...it is looking great. :)

"I only did that for you!!!"

If you only had the guts to approach her yourself!

Bastard!!!

I thought that favors were kept "under the table!"

You did end up sleeping with her and then dumping her right?

Arrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

I what The Aussie's would think of the Kissing Chiropractor?

Looks really cool Trav!! I was going to do the seagrass too but I only found it at one place and I couln't afford it!

Craig

TT

Al the seagrass to do the entire cieling and part of the walls cost me $27 on ebay... the bamboo was free, i found a patch of it near my house and cut it down.. can do lots of this stuff very cheaply..

TT

Here are some pics of the finished bar....

Amazing place. Don't look down under to me....it looks TOP notch.
Cheers.
