It is an honor to be featured in both Tiki Magazine and Atomic Ranch. We had no idea that we would be moving when the article was shot last September. Not so with Tiki Magazine. That was shot the right before we moved.

Thanks Bigbro......other than some rattan furniture in the den, the former laundry/hobby room (9'6" X 11') was the only full on Tiki room. They had shot my neighbor's house for one of the first issues and asked her if she knew anyone that had a large tiki collection.......she pointed out the carvings in our yard that you could see over the fence.......Here is the first page (Land Of A Thousand Tikis) of the 8 page article....

The story is very condensed and is more concerned with our roof problems than anything Tiki. I mentioned as many TC things as I could......Tiki Central, Book Of Tiki, Oceanic Arts, Tiki Farm, Tiki News, Tiki Magazine, TikiTony, TikiDiablo, Flounder, Gecko, Keigs, BambooBen, Munktiki, etc., and some were referenced at the end of the article. I did inform them that one of the sites they spelled wrong....Konakai.com was listed as Konakia.com......and apologies to Gecko as they got the info wrong and credited his great carved sign for our bar to Patiarts (who's work I like, but did not do our sign).

For many that have asked "How could you sell that house?", our jobs were/are both in jeopardy, mine due to numerous construction injuries and Mrs. Furys to office politics, and were lucky (and old enough) to have had a rental house to escape to.
We are in the process of renovation and the Rincon Room will be re-built.........
