Why End, I didn't know you had a soft side?

So, does it ever rain? Would that be a problem for the hammock?

Also, what is the point of having the two levels? Creativity? It's not bad, I'm just wondering.

The level next to the bar is raised. That serves 2 purposes:

1. It makes the height of the bar more comfortable.
2. It allows individuals under 6'4" to see the pool on the lower level. The entire bar overlooks the pool - which was kinda the point of putting the bar (and raised deck) there.

The hammock is designed to be outdoor furniture. It is resistent to rain and the resulting mildew. This is not your grandfather's canvas hammock.

Awesome. Well done.

Looks very nice, gentlemen.

I hope you got paid up front for your efforts though, Phil. I suspect Brian's "entertainment" budget for the summer will crimp his cash flow...

Thanks y'all. You guys are too kind. It was a rewarding project. I get to have the pictures and hopefully land similar, more lucrative projects in the future based upon the evidence. The thing isn't perfect, but it's pretty darn good for my first effort at a functional outdoor living space. I've done many decks, but function is generally left to the imagination of the homeowner after I've gone.

I'm particularly proud of the design elements. I had a lot of fun doing it and I know Brian is going to have fun enjoying the space for a long time and then he'll enjoy the fat check from the increased resell value, too. Heh.

That's fat "check", not fat "chick".

I guess so, I guess what I thought was the third level was actually a decorative seam. Here is the picture that deceived me.

Again I think you chose wisely with this investment.

Yeah, Endelt is definately a two level drunk. It takes years of experience to become a three level drunk.

Well, in your defense - the "level" on the far left had an additional coat of sealant applied a couple hours before that photo was taken. The level in the middle had had several days of AZ sun beating on it, so that's what you're picking up. In a couple days they'll both look very similar.

Damn, can I have your skills please?

06-05-2005, 07:56 PM

Can you have my skills? Heh. I don't think I'm really all that skilled, to be honest. I have the best tools money can buy. That makes a big difference, believe it or not.

I noticed you use DeWalt products. That was my first tipoff you knew what you were doing.

When did you decide to get into home upgrades and etc, Phobia?

I dunno - about 3 years ago. It was after I couldn't find any more IT related projects in Houston.
