And I am so damn proud of Billy's work it's freakin' disgusting. It's great seeing somebody progressing from sitting on the ground with a 'What the f%#k' expression on his face while hacking at a log, to digging through a 6 foot palm trunk with some wicked sharp chisels and making incredible Tikis, all in basically less than a year.

Go Billy GO!

Camm, you ever golf with someone before you really knew how to play, beat them by one or two strokes or scored just below them(after they've been at the game for 10 plus years)? They end up hating you. Sound familiar?
And thanks again, man. Out of all the drama that’s going on, I’m walking away, knowing a great set of diverse folks that help keep the creativity flowing.

Eric, nowadays, everyone looks better when I’m nude. Stress and injury really help to pack it on!
Good to hear from ya, bro! Will I see you at The Lava Flow?

Babs......no nude carving until I get a nice fence put up. If you look over Lemon Grove Ave. From the trolley, you can see right up into my yard.....even then, I’ll sport a loin-cloth, to save the junk from splinters!

Hiltiki, thanks for asking! As requested, here’s a few more......

Looking south-west, from the street......(Chaz and Brian, on the deck)

West from the future shop and carving area.....

50's kitchen.....I just put a restored, antique Gaffers & Sattler gas range in, to set it off just right
My daughter, going out the front door......I’m sure I’ll see a lot of this in the next 18 years!
(That paneling and carpet are HISTORY next week.....there are some GREAT walnut floors under that stinky mess.)

It’s a pretty small place (just under 1000 square feet), but the lot is 9000 square, on a hill. LOTS of landscaping possibilities. We’ll be having a housewarming Luau at the end of summer/early fall, so keep an eye on my thread for details. You’re totally welcome if you can make it down, but I’m hiding my keys!
