Much appreciated, Hiltiki! It still seems like soooooo much is left to do, but I look at where I started from and, to quote Keanu Reeves, "Whoa!"

You're so sweet, Wendy. You make Tiki Central worth visiting for your positive outlook alone! Just between you and me, you're probably visiting this thread the right amount. My updates are coming in fits and starts now because 1) winter 2) lack of free cash and 3) necessary but unglamourous work. At the moment I'm currently repairing the wooden deck adjacent the pool. It was make of red cedar, which is naturally decay resistant--if it's taken care of. Unfortunately, the previous owners never did any preventive maintenance and there's a lot of rot in addition to UV damage. Pulling up the planks, cutting away the rot, sanding them smooth and weatherproofing is pretty tedious. It's something that needs to be done, but isn't going to change the look of the place by much, if any. Not everything can be eye candy. :)
