Arrrr-some work Ben! That tropical "snow effect" looks damn real...(ivory soap flakes) and the spooky "Will O'the Wisp" hillbilly tree mask/ projection gobo lighting is the crowning touch!! Queen K must be rolling off her thrown in delight!!!

Well Skip, you're right you guys get more snow, although to be fair is always a week to 10 days before I get up there after a big snow.... Last year they got 26 inches, then 23 within 2 weeks, I stayed away a month.....lol The Good news is that its only 40 minutes to warm weather.

This week we closed the roof to the weather without hurting the trees..... it will stay dry for this winter.

Ben, nice pictures, looks like a Christmas card photo

Amy

That is simply amazing work! I was wondering if you have moisture problems (what with the snow and all). The Head is hysterical (nice composting toilet!) - but the sink is a masterpiece! You guys are awesome crazy! It's what Gilligan's Island SHOULD have looked like. I hope I can see it in person some day.

here are the photos Ben posted on Facebook, I didn't grab them all, but you get the idea! The bar isn't setup. the bottles are all locked in cabinets underneath, when not in use. The bathroom will get water and hot water this weekend and a shower. Then it's done.....for now...lol

This place is just amazing! Killer job you guys.

Thanks Tikiville, TikiSkip, LLT, Babs and Tiki G, I appreciate all the nice comments. It really is something to see in person, it's massive and it was never really supposed to be like this, but when Ben comes over, we just go crazy adding and doing.....I really love it! Thank you all for the comments and to Ben for the fabulous work and design!

Amy

WooooooHooooooo! I'm speechless... Another Tiki-rrific Masterpiece :)

This is what imagined

Not this

:lol: :lol: :lol: But the toilet paper holder's cool! :)

Great job Ben and Amy!!!

T

Just got the ok to post the pic's of the lights I made for the Tree house.
Made the first set some time ago.
And just sent out five more of the barrels
Most of the first batch went to the tea shop.
That kinda freaked me out, Like now all granola tea types are gonna want tea lights.
All of the barrels are linned with copper but still need kinda low watt bulbs. 25 watt.
Amy thanks for making me think outside of the tiki bar box.
Next?







T

I forgot to add one thing.
These lights are called Boylan Barrels.
They are named after Amy.
16 of them have been made to date.
Amy has 15 of them.
Thanks Amy !!!

Those barrel lights are WAY cool! I'm sure I could use those wall sconces too! Nice work all! Oh, funny cartoon - hey, when life gives you tiny tiki huts, make TP holders (or bird houses!)

thanks woohoo,tikigodz, mdmike, beadtiki and a special thanks to skip for the great lamps! Ben is already talking extensions.... lol

Amy

Did anyone finger out how to work the toilet yet?

I read it but could not compute......
