McTiki... fun, yes! Work, as always! The arms are burning from 8 hours of plunge router. But I've got tiki moulding in my quiver now.
Staining today on the last 4 pieces and then prep for the Big Hang tomorrow. Part of that prep will included hydration (or dehydration) at the Tiki Terrace tonight as I have to drop off a load of tikis for them to sell for me. Can't leave without a drink or two!

BK... I'm sure someday I'll be lusting after your home space... you've got a way of pulling out all the stops and finding some incredible decor. I hope to pull off a classic look with my space... I've soaked in some of the beloved tiki temples in the country over the last few years... time to let them out of my head! Sounds like you have too many floats... you'll have to send some up my way! :wink: I'll be tackling my ceiling sometime in the future... for now the most important parts to me are the walls and the bar. It is a great space, and was one of the buying points of the home... starting with a good basement makes it all easier in the long run.

Benboo... Sounds great! By that time I'll have cabin fever something fierce if we're iced over here. I'll have to keep an eye on it. So if I mention your name in the lineup, I'll get my waves? :wink: Think I still may bring the 4/3 wetsuit... we've got icewater for blood but I need to keep the joints warm so they function properly.
