I got 1 of 3 porthole windows in and working. Didn't leak in the rain either!!!! All the bamboo and tiki are still in the 100's of boxes waiting to be released... Had a metal company make the outside portholes to exactly match the size and bolt pattern of the old ship portholes. I built a tunnel system between them. I learned to if you take your torch and burn the zinc shiny nuts and bolts they will look gray, old and ugly real quick...which is exactly the look I wanted to match the porthole... I know I know...hurry up with the tiki and bamboo.... :wink:
