Tiki Bar Update
I haven't posted about my home tiki bar lately because not much progress has been made for the past couple of weeks. The contractors have been busy elsewhere, but I'm hoping that they're going to be back soon because I just received a truckload of way-cool stuff I ordered from Oceanic Arts!
Here's a pic of a couple of carved posts that'll be used for the bar entrance and thatched canopy, along with a nifty New Guinea-style mask that I'll be adding to my collection of wall masks. Not shown are the giant rolls of wired bamboo fencing that almost gave me a hernia when I hauled them into my workshop yesterday evening.
I also received a couple wicked-cool (and pointy!) pufferfish lamps that'll be hung over the bar. They worked well for scaring the crap out of Mrs. Bali Hai and the kids. Hee hee.
Needless to say, I'm getting really impatient to have this project finished so I can lounge around in my new bar in a fez and smoking jacket, drinking Mai Tais!
