I think Ben's new name should be "Bamboo Blink". Blink and your tropical paradise is done! In about 2 days, he completed about 75% of what will be a pretty impressive little Tiki bar in our warehouse.

H-Man! Trying to hijack the post???!! You'll get your's in a week or so. Arrr!! lol!! Mugoomba to you!!
-------
It was very pleasant the last 7 daze werking, Mmmmm, hack, cough, photoshopping!!, out in the Dunes aka Desert. I think the high was only 105 this time.( A month ago it was Capitol H E and double hockey sticks!!!) Got back home and dug out my down jumpsuit!!
Queen K is going to do some final Hot Lava touches this weekend or so and I'm sure she'll post some groovy photos for you's all.( I did not take one pic!! Arrr!!! doh!!) I think they even have a website for it AL-ReAdY.!!!!
( segundo!!) ( damn websites!! lol!!)
We were talkin' bout names for it and the werking name was the Place of Refuge. But then the other night ( after Queen K worked her !** off all weekend!!!!! She's a maniac!!), we were sittin and thinking something like the Head Hunters Hut.
( HHH and a W shaped bar. Subliminal for her life/time spent at Hot Wheels?? Hmmm. I did not plan it this way. This just hit me right now. Tiki werks in Great Ways!! It's all about good times and no rules. A place to escape from the capitol H, E, double Hockey Sticks part of life life, to make you feel better.
p.s. I miss Sammy and Buddy and the Fish.
Also, Mahalos to all of you who have been following this post. Specially the lurkers!! (lol!! it's Al good!!)

Thanks Ben! you are amazing!!!! I will be posting the final pictures tonight, it includes Ben's fantastic Head Hunter Hut, and all his designs, and Carvings.
I also want to say thanks to Ona Tiki and Moki who hand delivered their lamps and masks, Basement Kahuna for his outstanding poles, KAHAKA for his great designed lamps as well. The rest of the stuff is years of accumulating stuff and ebay.(lamps, Poles by CC, extra mugs, etc)

Really nice! Who needs a volleyball court anyhow!?!?
Congrats to all who made it happen... I love the yards and rooms that are a combined effort of many different TC artists and craftspersons!
The lava rocks are a great idea, and the way the red light comes out from under the deck like it sits on an active crater!

Thanksfor all the kind words lake surfer, Hewey, Grog and Wendy.
I am really happy with the way it all turned out and after 3-4 years of working on it, it was worth it. The new hut by Ben, made the other 2 smaller ones look old and tired, so I fixed them up this weekend too....lol

Pictures do not do the yard justice. IF you get a chance to see the place in person, you will not regret it. Any words GROG could use to describe it (awesome, incredible, excellent, etc.) are all understatements. After seeing the yard and Holden's Mugoomba room, GROG can say whole-heartedly
that Bamboo Ben is THE BEST!!
Amy(Queen Kamehameha) is one smart lady hiring Ben for the build, and one excellent hostess. GROG looking forward to the chance to visit again.
