So it has begun!

Welcome to the Tiki Rancher Blog! I created this blog to document the construction of a tiki barn in my backyard using bamboo and thatch materials. The "barn" will act as a clubhouse for my kids and a tiki bar for dad when he's feeling the need to get his tiki on.  Enjoy the progress pics and please feel free to give advice, criticism and encouragement to me the rancher as I attempt to build with bamboo for the first time.
