Thanks for the comments, Chris! I can sympathize with lack of space--although I hadn't discovered tiki yet, our previous house was too small for me to do many projects I'd hoped to. Making the most of what we have available, within the existing constraints, is the best anyone can do. I know I'm very fortunate to have lucked into this house with its outdoor space custom-made for entertaining. We were literally two weeks away from being homeless when it fell into our lap (had to walk away from a house we had under contract because of serious problems discovered during inspection--and our old home had already sold!).

The Wife and I were discussing just this last month, how this house directly led us to tiki. Had the previous house under contract not proven to be a disaster in the making, or we ended up in one of the many other places we considered, it's doubtful we would've discovered tiki. Which would be a shame, since we enjoy it, and the people we've met through it, so much. Life is strange sometime! :)
