Tiki Bree- you're welcome to stop by anytime. The tiki room is (STILL!) under construction, but i have been given a late-May deadline for general completion by my wife.

However the collection is out and about so that is viewable.

Shoot me a personal message and we can set something up.

Yep, thats screen around the porch. We live near a large preserve which means we get a chunk of bugs in the warmer months. We do get some mosquitoes, but those arent so bad, especially with the mosquitio-magnets you can get now.

The hell bug is the No-See-Um. Those things are these tiny black specks- like a pepper grain that pack such a wallop. It hurts to get bit, and then it ITCHES like crazy. Luckily i seem to be building up a tolerance for it- but guests can get hammered by them. They are usually out in the warmer months during the early evening- hell, theyre always out there. And whats worse is they fly right through that screen! It only cuts them down on a percentage basis.

I do like the screen though, becuase it cuts the wind and sun exposure down a tad, making it easier to grow tropicals.. thats basically what can save a pool area- planting lots of plants and getting some rocks in there. We had openings cut in the deck for planters when the deck was laid, but im trying to convince my neighbor to retro-cut some in his..
