not that bad, it gives you a reason to pack it up
and head to the KEYS for winter.

Yeah, It does suck that we have snow to deal with in the winter. We have a good 7 months of tiki-bar time though. I love the artificial palms too. I'm looking to get a few. Bananas and canas plants are growing now, they are coming in good...Just started all this though. But all us neighbors (12 of us) are having a great time. We swim at my neighbors in-ground pool during the day, and drink at the tiki bar at night. Its a blast. I have so many more plans its not even funny. Next is the landscapping and getting more "tropical", its just so darn expensive. Oh well, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Tiki David,
Is that your artifical palm? Where did you get it from? I'm having a hard time finding outdoor, snow worthy artificial pams that don't cost close to $1K or more. Any sources, let me know!

I see you have already experienced the "joy" of seeing your tiki bar covered in snow! Yikes!!
It sure makes you enjoy the nice months, though right?!

Man, I wish I had your backyard! I miss grass and privacy fences. Good luck on feeding the monkey, hehe.

It was a gift from some friends, but I do know it was around that $1000.00 /plus mark.
it is about 10 yrs old.and I think the price has come down a lttle, and selection
& styles have improved.
