Tiki Rancher visits Mississippi

What an amazing place to build a Grand Hut! Teamed with Southern Bamboo, we will be building a hut with awnings on the front and rear of the hut. 

Sign up to follow and watch the progress. We should start building next month.

Newest Hut site in Mississippi

The guys at Southern Bamboo have commissioned the next hut to be built.  The Royal Grand Hut will be customized with awnings and with a level build site will offer more options than the original hut in my yard. 

Thanks Sean and Tom! you Rock....lets build many more! 

The New Year is off with a bang!

Well the world didn't end on the 21st....thank god...2013 is starting off with a bang! 

Took a trip down to Southern Florida between Christmas and New Year with my awesome family! We did many new things including flying a Jet Lev (water powered jet pack) took an airboat ride in the everglades and finally got the chance to carve a palm tree log...even though the log was not the best type to use...its all I had. Kaitlin even got in on the act! check it out...

Found some awesome rattan furniture and a 1959 Cadillac - can't think of a better start!

Christmas in the HUT

I got into the spirit this weekend....Enjoy 

Merry Christmas from the Tiki Rancher!

New Railings for Code inspection

I've finally started working on the Hut again.  I had a neighbor decide to call the City of Roswell on me, after he called the HOA (jumped through those hoops) So, I had to apply for a building permit...but ha got one. So a couple of items out of code had to be fixed...Railings were the main issue. So this past weekend I added some more safety to the hut.  I'm also making the loft safer for wee little ones. Check out the progress!

DIY kits are now available for Royal Grand Hut

Finally after a year in the making, the DIY kit for the Royal Grand Hut are available! In the kit you will get all the bamboo and thatching needed to create your very own slice of heaven.  The kit also comes with a fully illustrated book of easy to follow instructions.  The blueprints are color coded and easy to read and execute. All the knots, joinery and tips to make your build as successful as mine. The Royal Grand Hut was built by the tiki rancher single handedly....so if you have a team or even a couple of people this hut will go up quick and last for years. Go to my etsy store for more details....

Peace of Mind in the bamboo barn

As I sit in the bamboo barn behind the bar, looking out into the yard I get an overwhelming feeling of being at    peace with all. Something about the natural materials - the smell, the color, the shade of the thatched roof makes me calm - or was it the rum drink I just poured? Anyway, I love the addition to the yard and hope everyone has the time and resources to put something up in their life that brings as much joy as my bamboo barn.  

Do it yourself kits are coming for three sizes...Grand hut (like the one I built), kids playhouse and a dog house version is coming soon. Mahalo!
