Crazy Recycle Lady

That's how I feel.
Like the crazy recycle lady.
The tiki bar is slowly taking shape...of course the lumber is recycled.
I don't know the story of the support posts or the rafters, I bought them from somebody else who had a lot of used lumber they needed a home for.
But the 2x12's that we used for the bar top...this is the third time I've built something out of the same boards, and I'm pretty sure this is where they'll stay.
It looks unusual, maybe a little goofy...
Goofy works for me.
Next step is sanding and sealing...so I can do some sitting and sipping!

Have a great weekend, be sure to enjoy your views ;)

From Creepy to Tiki

When we bought the property where our cabin stands we considered hiring a bulldozer and taking down the existing structure...it was pretty gross. The funky structure was solid, but nobody had ever lived in it... unless you count rodents and gophers. We decided to put on our masks and gloves, clean it, strip it down to the studs...new windows, doors, siding, the works - we're still running wires for the solar system and we should have running water by the end of summer. Yippieeeee!
The picture is of the shed in the back yard, we talked about demolishing it as well but it has come in handy for storage so we're doing a little work to it...trying to make it a little less ugly.
Today we put up rafters to extend the roof line, tied in the support posts and - yiiikes - I helped put up the 18 foot 6x6 header!
It's starting to look a whole lot better, I wasn't sure that was even possible.

I'm back home tonight cruising blogland for tiki bar ideas.
Fire up the generator honey...we're makin' pina coladas!
