Here is my contribution to keeping this going.....although it is not completed here is a link to what I have done so far to create my outside Pirate area. We live next to a protected area so it is a never ending effort to keep the vines and brush cut back from taking over the yard....still we wanted a place to entertain our pirate friends......we still have much to do but the constant rain and humidity limit the time we can spend working on it.

Will post more photos as we progress.

NICE TOUCH, the Tunnel!!!

Ah, reminds me o' me ol' school days, use'n th' drain tunnel at th' end o' the football field t' sneak off campus 'n spend th' afternoon at Shakeys Pizza!

(Tip: when sneaking through a drain tunnel on all fours, always make sure ye have a cute cheerleader InFront o' ye!)

Wow. I want a backyard like that. Unfortunately, my parent's wouldn't be too keen on the idea. Add some more old-fashioned lanterns and take some pictures of it at night! It would look awesome.

"But why is the rum gone!?"--Captain Jack Sparrow

Yo, I finally watched the video you did, awesome job man!

Trap door? Where is that? Will ye be storing yer riches down there? Hiding rum? Bodies? Air vent for the dryer?

So when's the party?

You need a pirates chest of gold, However, make it a pirate cooler drink storage chest of luscious drinks to quaff and replentish thy soul. You could get a wood support structure built around the doubloons chest where you could stock a small make shift bar. Have small refridgerators with supplies and store nice nautical themed party supplies, drink straws, swizzle sticks, small bottles of fruit drink mixers. small party trays. I have a gorgeous Nautical theme Ice bucket, ice buckets have ice tongs, unless someone drops them. Wooden circular serving trays or even tin ones with pirate themes artwork. Steins and mugs and pewter serving wares

Here at your refreshment stations, you could place parrots, an area for the nautical theme decanters, glasses plastic or glass, bar supplies, gold coins, pirate Decor, Captain hooks hook, parchments maps, reproductions of course, on these reproductions parchements maps place the Drinks, liquors that are Offered at your Bar, Create Artwork that is the name, theme, art direction for your bar. Call your self the proprietor.

Have small chests filled with make believe treasures and pirate items. Place them where your guests will find them.

Create area with pirate themes such as sitting areas, Make fun of the Ladies and Gents rest room needs, use nautical terms to describe them

There by the Pirate cooler, seated or standing by the treasure chest could reside thy costumed Vagabonds and perhaps have some recorded Jargoon for your pirate Actors to taunt the Thirtsy guests with!

Ah A mermaid, Ye must needs a luscious wench mermaid near about the fountain.

Letters of Marquee, Wanted posters, would be good just photoshop them. Put the nautical mayhem posters about where ever Ye please.

Keepers for the weapons and a hanger for cloaks, a large pirate theme guest sign in book kept where guests can sign in. Mirrors with nautical themes, Seashell lamps. lighting ambiance, stools, captain chairs, old whiskey decanters with nautical images,

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Whiskey-Bottle...6QQcmdZViewItem

brass nautical items, ships wheels, Any old dive equipment, oars, paddles, oil lamps, ship lamps, old books, you can get them at some libraries.

Old oil painting with Windjammers on them, you can even get nice prints that are gorgeous and less expensive

http://cgi.ebay.com/1963-VINTAGE-SCHOLASTI...3QQcmdZViewItem

Oh Merciful Heavens, Clocks, Nautical clocks, and The Moby Dick books, any old Fishing gear of course watch for hooks, small nice wood boat models.

The Reef Restaurants, Texas city texas has beautiful decor and delicious foods to! Let me look that up

here are trays not really expensive, great to decorate or serve on

With Christmas coming, buy some of those new LED flickering lights (we got some last year) and place them among your canopy top. Those won't get hot like the regular kind and are safer.

That will give you the ambiance you are looking for especially in the summer evenings.

Rumba..I will do just that...Also they now have these little battery powered candle lights I can use as well for the lanterns along the fence...When I get a chance and pay the wicked credit card down some, I will do this and post a few night tyme pics.. So much more to do.. I have an Idea of using a long boat and creating a smashed in half effect with benches on eighter side and a low table in the middle to replace the New Orleans style wrought iron table I have back thar now.. Big ideas take money and tyme.both of which I am short of currently....

I've been cruising Craig's List and have come across and old row boat someone wanted to give away free, an old ship's wheel for just a pittance of money. Take a look at their free stuff and other areas, there's some great deals to be had.

(I know before we buy furniture and stuff for our new place, I'll be going through Craig's List a lot!)

I have the white tree lights under my canopy...they look great and give just the right ambiance like a dimly lit old pub......I could not stand the blinking one but these are perfect.

All daytime shots and the project was temp. stopped by the last hurricane and a bad bout of poison ivy but I'll get back to it soon.
