MacKenzie Posted May 21, 2016 Report Posted May 21, 2016 A master craftsmen at work that makes it so much more special. The feel of the wood on bare feet must be wonderful.:)
CeramicChef Posted May 21, 2016 Report Posted May 21, 2016 I am green with envy. Absolutely beautiful! Congrats to you and an attaboy to Ivan!
tony b Posted May 22, 2016 Report Posted May 22, 2016 Dude, that's just sick! I know that you will enjoy this for many years to come.
Pale Rider Posted June 2, 2016 Author Report Posted June 2, 2016 Pics of the new 19 inch and the new cabinet under the umbrella. As always, the workmanship is just superb. These sit right outside the pool house where the flooring has been installed [but is currently covered up for final painting]. 1
tony b Posted June 2, 2016 Report Posted June 2, 2016 Crazy, nice setup! I have to ask, is the tennis court yours, too? Pool & tennis court - sooo jealous!
CeramicChef Posted June 2, 2016 Report Posted June 2, 2016 @Pale Rider - an absolutely beautiful setting. Great pics. Thanks, I think … I'm jealous! Congrats on your setup! 1

House was pretty run down when we bought it [divorce, constant refi and withdraw money, no maintenance, etc.], so got quite a deal, but the tennis court and basketball court were salvageable. The pool, sadly, was not. So we ripped it out and started over, and we added the pool house. 1
tony b Posted June 2, 2016 Report Posted June 2, 2016 You're killin' me! Next thing you'll tell us is that you have a Par - 3 golf course, too! In a word - Shangri-La! 1
ckreef Posted June 3, 2016 Report Posted June 3, 2016 That is a seriously big umbrella! Or is just the camera angle? Inquiring minds want to know. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
Bruce Pearson Posted June 3, 2016 Report Posted June 3, 2016 Hello Pale Rider; Thanks for posting the pictures of your new cabinet. Everything looks beautiful. I was so impressed with the construction of the side shelves and the pictures Dennis posted of your cabinet, I now have one being built for myself with a few modifications of course ( don't want to be a copy cat) lol. That must have been one heck of a crate when it arrived. alas my BB 32 is languishing in the garage still. every time I pass it by i hear "light me up". Just got all the rotisRee stuff today. I really enjoy reading all the posts here on the forum. I guess this must be social media? Anyway everybody have a great weekend

CeramicChef Posted June 3, 2016 Report Posted June 3, 2016 I have always thought I'd like an umbrella like those until I remember I live in Oklahoma where "... the wind comes sweeping down the plain ..." I just can't see myself repeatedly chasing a sail that big in the middle of a cook. 1

I just can't see myself repeatedly chasing a sail that big in the middle of a cook. I hear ya. It gets pretty windy here (as it does at many tropical places full of umbrellas), and I expect to watch this thing carefully. What we don't have here is tornados or anything like real hurricanes. I have it sunk below the patio on a four foot concrete post base. It was delivered with two 90-pound steel plates (which are supposed to help it withstand 50mph gusts), but my builder estimates we more than tripled its mooring weight. I am under no illusions about a severe storm though, so we try to practice the habit of cranking it closed every week in the summer (when it almost never rains) and every day we use it in the more unpredictable months. 1
tinyfish Posted June 7, 2016 Report Posted June 7, 2016 Everything is looking so good. That is one big umbrella...
Tucker Posted June 12, 2016 Report Posted June 12, 2016 Dennis - do you have the casters that are on that large cabinet available? I need to replace the casters i put on my cabinet several years ago.
