Cool, where do you live? 20 minutes huh? I'll call before I leave? Looks awsome Tikiman! Leroy's tiki ain't too shabby either.

Thanks! I am in Laguna Niguel, South Orange County, California. It's very ocean close, so it gets fairly windy on sunny days (so the temps stay in the 70's during the summer months).
LeRoy gave me a deal on this tiki about four years ago. It was cut, but un-finished (no stain, paint, etc) when I bought it. So I stained it at first, but the stain wasn't looking too good after two years, and I got tired of having to re-stain it. So I painted it with semi-gloss exterior latex in a dark brown color. I think it looks better than when it was stained and it keeps looking this good year round now. It also keeps all the bad spirits away from my home! :)

Cheers!
