QK Queen Kamehameha Member So Cal Joined: Oct 21, 2003 Posts: 1413	QK Queen Kamehameha Posted posted on Fri, May 25, 2007 11:01 AM TIKI KAIMUKI- Thanks, the cannon, puts it over the top! Tiki Socialite- thanks! JenTiki= yes it is! :wink: Murph= not a carbide cannon, none working, just there for looks :) pdrake - perry, please wear the puffy shirt! Paipo- Paipo, he is the best! I was out there today, just staring of it. your right, I am lucky, I try never to forget it too.surf-n-turf Tiki Socialite- the deck was the first priority. ben then made it all work Woohoo- Thanks! Glad you like it.... :) Polynesiac- Jim, thanks this was Fun and Ben and I are already thinking about the next piece for the yard, but right now, I am just enjoying this one... it is amazing in person. This is really one of Bens greatest works, I think :wink: tikiwinebear- thanks Myke , you know I did a search on Ebay, the guy who makes them just started selling them, they are very detailed and very reasonable. Thanks too for the kind words! The yard has taken on a life of its own NOTCH- thanks!!! Surf tiki- thanks, Funny I thought it might be getting a bit excentric as well... I don't want to be "that weird person up the block" although long before the ship, they would slow down when they drove by....lol. lagoon.....well... maybe....:wink:I was thinking of extending the pond to go between the bar and boat, that might be considered a lagoon... theres that word excentric again...hummm morbidboy- you know, airstreams are very cool, pirate ships are cool, I have looked at many a yard before I built mine, it needs to be about what you guys want and makes you comfortable. By the way, I used a phrase over and over with Ben, it was "the essence of a pirate ship" lol, what I wanted was a cool deck that sat a lot of people that had the essence of a ship. Ben has done that amd more. having a ship that wasn't also practical , if a ship could be practical, so what i am saying is it has to work and be a useful part of the yard. useful and look cool. Have fun with it! Thanks again all, your kind words and appreciation. Amy [ Edited by: Queen Kamehameha 2007-05-25 20:49 ]

My husband was the same, and now he loves it. we started piece by piece and have been building on the yard for over 4 years. I believe its the detail that makes the magic, I saw old people pushing their hands in the treasure chest ! lol.... Yes, I have another project, trying to talk Ben into coming back out when it gets cooler. It's too hot now. Amy
