Well, I have been admiring(actually quite jealous) all of your post for quite some time and decided to share a little. I started out just trying to make the backyard fun adding a little bar and some tiki paraphernalia including the required palm trees. This last spring I was checking out pictures on my computer of a search "backyard adventureland" and I saw some pictures of a back yard bar inspired by Disney's Adventureland. I knew it was time to make a change. Up here north of Seattle we can get some rain so what ever I was going to build would have to provide some seating even if it got a bit wet. Since I love Tiki and Disneyland I did a little bit of both. I think this year I will concentrate on adding even more Tiki's. Sorry the pictures aren't the best I will work on that for the future. I really enjoy seeing all your hard work it's very inspiring.

Nice job C B! Landscaping looks great. Are the large rocks real?
Mahalo for sharing.

Thanks, the rocks are real and the only things that remain from the original landscape. However, I didn't know most of them were there because they were covered with heather.

Nice! I live near downtown Everett on Rucker Hill, (well, at the bottom actually)Our place is a rental so unfortunately no room for a bar at this time.
We might have to have a "North of Seattle" meet up!

Looking great. I love that you used old "crates" for the bar panelling. Everything looks really great. Keep the photos coming.

Thank you for the kind words. The bar is inspired by another on this site. I see all that other members have done and it makes me want to do much more. In the works is a Tiki playhouse for my daughter and her friends. I have been building and adding to my backyard design. I have been collecting used wood and building with that. It keeps costs down and adds to the look. Here are some of the boxes I have built using old fence boards. I also tried to upload a video of a skull I hacked to work like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. I can use a microphone to talk and entertain all the neighborhood ki
ds. I also found some cool hand painted pictures at the local thrift store. The video did not upload correctly but it should be fun
