Here are some pictures of our progress, plus some extra stuff... Our son Michael stayed home from school to watch the guys pour the cement. He has his own mug collection, so he was anxious too! Here's the form around the fountain. Here's the form for the Honolulu Lounge. Concrete!!! Hard concrete!!! Now we have to wait a few weeks for our windows to be delivered, so we can start framing. Meanwhile, this is what it looks like when Oceanic Arts delivers bamboo and thatching to your door... No, we didn't order an entire semi full of bamboo, just about $400 worth of 1 1/2 inch poles, 4 inch poles and some 4x8 Lauhala. This is what you do with your mug collection while your tiki room is being built -- store them in the garage... Maybe this is why they call them suffering bastards. Actually, we did more gardening this weekend and put some resin wicker furniture on the lanai. Everything is kind of temporary though, because we are going to tile the lanai and the lounge after things are further along. More later.
