Sorry about all of the repeat posts...just like me, my computer has issues! Hopefully this will only come through once. Here are some recent pics of the shack (with the deck and the tiki..in case I didn't mention that)

So over the winter I was working on a tiki..I got the idea from this totem. I liked him holding the fish, so I wanted that in my design.

I also thought I would have his feet crossed, I had to have my son model (I'll spare that pic)

I finished the headpiece and decided to use a wine based stain. I was a bit worried about using the color but I wanted to try a different stain.

Here he is on the deck

And finally at night

I had run a cable underground, tested it, buried it, and when I later tried to get a signal it didn't work. I had to partially dig a new trench and rerun the cable. I had a lot of cutoffs and was going to throw them out but I threw together a makeshift bar that will serve as storage in the winter. Hopefully I will begin tweaking the inside but I have to make a large Easter island head for a co worker.

Thanks for looking.
