Yeah, I don't know if I really told the story about the filming...
Ben and I had always talked about doing The Breezeway of my house as a tiki bar but never just DID it. Then, he was approached by someone to film a pilot for a tikifying kinda home improvement show... Since he lives so close to me and we had always talked about it, he suggested finally doing The Breezeway.
With me doing all of the preliminary carving and trim work, he (with Dinah's assistance) hammered out the walls, ceiling treatment, bar, and waterfall all in one week. Ben is like a building tornado when you get him going! He worked super hard and made the place look amazing with his suggestions!
I've seen the finished show and it looks great! We aren't allowed to show it to the public yet though. Let's hope it gets picked up! It would really make a great TV program!

That sounds really cool. Who do we contact to make it a reality? Obviously you guys have a huge constituency on here to flood any unsuspecting channel the show may be getting pitched to. And smart move having Dinah doing the assisting on camera...if that doesn't get it picked up - ha. Is there a name for the show or is that under wraps as well? In looking back through the posted pictures, the only thing missing is Ernie helping Ben as the safety inspector (ala his comic strips). Throw that in and you'll have all bases covered. Good luck on getting it accepted.

Yeah, I'm not sure... You'll have to ask Ben those questions. He knows more about this stuff than I do.
I wish we could show everyone right now!

Since the sale at The Bahooka was cancelled this weekend, and I was still in the neighborhood... I decided to swing by Oceanic Arts...
Picked up this string of floats for our window looking in to the kitchen.
Got a couple of masks and other stuff, but haven't had a chance to put them up yet.
Stay tuned...
