Oh and by the way when you start getting shit for the Jimmy Buffet and Margaritaville signs (and you will) don't listen to them. Jimmy Buffet is hated on Tiki Central. Just put Jimmy Buffet in the TC search engine to see what I'm talking about.

I put some Buffet stuff up there for 3 reasons. It is in Tampa. I want a nice mix off stuff. It is also what was around the pool. He is a friend. So it is what it is. People are always like that.You either love him or hate him. Thanks for the comments... Now I am out to build a waterfall.... Any thoughts?

The reason I wanted the house was so I could built a TIKI bar in the pool area. Yours in Awesome, just like I imagined mine would be. I spent all Freeking day trying to get leaves out of our pool today. :( Fist day that it was warn enough to go in the pool when I was home, and it's under a willow tree! I hate New England. Like the song from He who will remain nameless says "I want to go where it's warm!" _ Jay

When you're talking about Tiki, there can be a broad gap between what you want & what's out there.
