when me and my woman moved out last summer we had a pool in the back yard. i was bored and thought it would be fun to do a project together. so we went to home depot and got some doug fir 2+4’s, then took off to the beach and picked up some bamboo. we had no clue what we wanted to build yet. she insisted that we build a stupid tiki bar for the pool area so we got to work and this is what we ended up with. a pretty cool looking rustic hawaiian tiki bar. boy oh boy did that thing get used. every night we had people over and that was the hang out spot for most of the drunks including myself. haha. but that was then. i am sober now and the bar sits in the sun rotting away.

Every project should have a good story. This is no exception. It was used, and now it’s not. It’s the cycle of life. I’d say have a burning party when you reach another milestone of sobriety. It might be liberating.

Rick and I made a tiki bar for my daughter & husband’s wedding shower a couple years ago. I set up the water cooler in behind it and a cooler full of lemons and served fresh lemonade all afternoon. Boy was that a hit!!!
The components of the bar sit in my basement, waiting for some future event. (We had at the time used an old shelf that we’d had for a couple decades and was made out of pressed wood. So, it can’t stay outside. It would be nice to make a new one and be able to leave it outdoors all the time.
Thank you for sharing this!!
