Wow! It's truly amazing. You've shown how much can be accomplished in even a small space. Great morale boost for those of us who rent and thought we'd never be able to have a really cool tiki bar. Looks as though, with a little advance planning in the finishing-out phase, it could easily be dismantled to accommodate relocation to a different property if necessary. You're definitely on to something here. If you ask me, it's ready for marketing roll-out right now. I think you're absolutely correct in thinking that lots of potential buyers would enjoy finishing it off themselves, in accordance with their personal tastes, budgets, and anticipated permanence in their current homes. Will enjoy seeing how you finish it off because you're obviously skilled and creative. But, meanwhile, if you were to launch the product as-is (even without the totally tiki raked roof beam) you'd have do-it-yourselfers all over the country finishing off their projects in their own styles. You then create a club/website/forum (such as a VW owners club or an Airstream Owners club) wherein people share ideas, stories, tips, and photos - very much like this forum but devoted exclusively to your pre-fab huts. I predict that your kits and all of the many clever ways people will devise to to trick them out would go viral. It would also save you from having to create a whole bunch of examples for marketing purposes - your customers will gladly do it for you. I'm stoked. Keep up the great work.
