How popular is your yard with friends/family? How often do you use it?

With our short summers here in Wisconsin, we try to use it every day. In fact, last weekend we had our annual summer luau featuring live music by one of our favorite surf bands, The Cocktail Preachers from Chicago.

Any wild ideas of your own?

Absolutely! I would love to someday build this pirate ship in my backyard.

Of course, my version would be more accurate with authentic rigging and crew quarters. Right now though I think this project would be somewhat cost prohibitive considering the amount of lumber one would need to build this ship.

On the back burner for now...
