City of Roswell approves final inspection on the HUT

After over a year of dealing with my HOA, and the City of Roswell - the final inspection was this morning and I got approved!  Should be over with any more hoops to jump through....I want to thank my asshole neighbor for the hassle but it did in the end make it totally legit and safer due the railings I installed.  

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!
