Amy, why can't you be like everybody else and have a nice, big, green lawn? One you have to water to keep the grass from dying, since you're in a desert. That's much nicer looking. None of this clutter.
F Formikahini Tiki Socialite Houston, Texotica Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 1514	F Formikahini Posted posted on Sun, Dec 13, 2009 7:26 AM Yes, joking. I am late to this thread (and really, to my detriment, I never even check this forum). UN- F*CKING-BELIEVABLE. Just.......can't....find....words. Like at the Mai Kai, I would have a reeeeeally hard time leaving. Like, drag my ass out, nails scraping in the dirt with a loud, "Noooooooooooooh!" Congratulations on making a dream come true. Your dream - and that of a couple of thousand tiki-lovers! And Ben, I don't even know where to start. Just......Thanks. "Zazz captivates felt." [ Edited by: Formikahini 2009-12-13 07:27 ]

QK Queen Kamehameha Member So Cal Joined: Oct 21, 2003 Posts: 1413	QK Queen Kamehameha Posted posted on Wed, Dec 30, 2009 5:54 PM thanks skip, Clarita.... much appreciated! The weather has made it take a bit longer,it usually doesn't rain much. today it was 36 and raining mixed with snow. As soon as the weather warms up we will finish the openings in the ceiling, I want to close most of it up but let the trees be able to move. I took a few more photos of Skip's lamps they are on all sides of the tree house, as accents, they look great! I have more Skip lights to hang, plus the sconces. I will do more when the weather is better. Skip you will need to come for the first "open tree house party"thanks again Amy [ Edited by: Queen Kamehameha 2009-12-30 19:37 ]
