It was circa 2018 and our friends came to our house for one of our first Tiki parties and told us that we should check out this bar they saw the day before, We were in the store at 10am on Sunday, They weren’t officially open when we arrived, but they opened the doors wide […]
We finally got our hands on a Tiki Grail from an online auction here in Denver, of all places. We didn’t know whether she worked or not and this is how she arrived: We couldn’t test her because the wiring to the wall was completely shot, so I just started taking her apart to see
The 100-mile winds have taken a toll on our outdoor Tikis; as you can see by the chunks taken out of this guy. Almost every one have been have been blown over at least once, so… in keeping our tradition of sticking poles up Moais and Tikis; I decided to fill them up with hard

It got cold this year and people started posting how terrible it was in West Virginia, so I took some pictures of the backyard. Looking pretty good!
A long time ago, I thought it would be cool to add an ocean sound effect to the chalkware fish bathroom. We bought the shell box at an estate sale over 6 months ago and I bought the speaker and control board for the Tiki room music box over a year ago. The box legs
We finished hanging the Demonoyo. I made the support out of some left-over teak and made the support wider than it needs to be so I could screw it into studs. I do NOT want this to fall for any reason. It’s made out of the same teak as the PNG shield with a brown-stained
