B bongofury Grand Member (6 years) Ventura County Joined: Oct 15, 2002 Posts: 1565	B bongofury Posted posted on Mon, Jul 17, 2006 10:37 PM Thank you all again. You rock! I have been extremely busy with air conditioning service due to the weather and have not had as much time to work on it, but here is the latest..... Detail under the a-frame over the bar Red float on loan from the TikiTony collection Composite deck boards for the bridge Side trim and posts/rope yet to be installed on the bridge. We still have the original 7 koi plus Mrs. Fury's sister brought us a tadpole to add to the pond, but we have not seen it for a couple of days. OnaTiki finished the bar tile last week and is on to other projects. Mucho mahalos for getting us to this stage and for making the long drive up each week. Close up of the tapa detail (Mahalo to TikiTony for contacting Alan & Michael (SpongeBob Squarepants) and letting me make stencils from some of their artwork......they may also be at the ITD party) I wired up the red float with a nice soft white light. I am tired of looking at the greenboard and look forward to detailing the interior.

Wish I'd started following your thread earlier and maybe my ideas and progress would be different, although I'm happy with the little bit I've accomplished so far. You've done some great things here so I'll keep checking back!

P PalmPlanter Member Joined: Jul 25, 2006 Posts: 1	P PalmPlanter Posted posted on Tue, Jul 25, 2006 10:40 PM Lookin' good Ron! It's your brother- Steve Figured this screen name fitting as any- since I'm getting sick of digging holes for new 24 & 36" box palms & single birds. Pretty sad when all the nursurys know me by my 1st name now. Wow- your yard has come along way since I saw it last. Pond looks awesome. I'll be picking your brain soon on your pond install. With all this heat- had huge issues w/ green water (single cell algae). Bought a new filter w/ UV light & clear water again. Make sure your filter will accept a big UV light, you might need it. Are you using a Savio skimmer/filter? Finished my BBQ island 3 weeks ago, came out pretty nice if I do say so. Planting a new 24" box Foxtail tonight to replace the deceased one. I'll plant the Mazari Palm in a few days. I'll trade you soil conditions. Dig a hole & it's solid rock here. Much more rock than dirt. I actually had to buy dirt to fill my planter I just finished! When I removed the rocks- there was nothing left but hole. Hurry up & finish so you can come over here & help me dig holes & trenches. Can't wait to see your yard in person. :)

B bongofury Grand Member (6 years) Ventura County Joined: Oct 15, 2002 Posts: 1565	B bongofury Posted posted on Tue, Aug 1, 2006 9:54 PM Thanks again everyone.......BambooBen (your favorite cabinet is in the loft), MT Kahuna (August 12), Grog, TikiDuddy, Surf n Turf (you should be happy with what you have done, I just saw your A-Frame & carving.....awsome), jpmartdog (no more construction, but that pic is cool), Benzart (this is your West coast guest room), TikiBird (Polynesiac posted the necklace in ITD), Burningman (2 shots of the sink, I will try to post the one inside the house.....it's just a resin planter), and PalmPlanter.......hello bigbro, very cool to see you post here. 24" & 36" boxes? Sounds like we need to see photos of your tropical yard. You didn't trade your street rod for a surfboard or outrigger did you? No problem here with the algae. Just using a biological filter, no uv. TikiTony's post covers Tub spout at sink is temporary, but good for testing. Rincon Room bathroom is fully functional now. Small amount of algae on the rock is food for the koi. Bathroom wall/ceiling The weather has turned more June-like. Morning fog made for a change in plans. We spent the weekend installing sprinklers and sod so just getting back to the room. Still should have inspection this Friday. ITD will happen inspection or not.

S sur2baja Tiki Centralite Joined: Dec 01, 2006 Posts: 29	S sur2baja Posted posted on Sat, Feb 17, 2007 8:49 AM Awesome yard! I'm doing something very very similar. I live down in Fallbrook and was worried about the sun and water damage to stained wood so I ended up painting mine. I like your carvings on the posts and beams. One question though, how did you do your "rusting". I got the impression that you painted verses acid washed it. I'm using the home depot sheets of corrugated metal so I would like your thoughts on it, especially on how it's holding up through the winter. Thanks for the reply and once again, it looks awesome!
