Now I have added the rope lashings around the footings and support posts. Eye was surprised ....It took nearly 200 ft. of 3/4" rope .

now to save for the mural... If any of ye would like to help ..I am looking for an image to use for that project... I am looking into doing it myself with an overhead projector and a tranparantcy or hiring a local artist. I couldn't retain Don Maitz. He too high end for my pocket book.

This is my wish list.

1) Saloon doors to hide the washer and drier DonE !

2) bow of wooden boat 8' tall to stand up.

3) 4ft. tall lighthouse from the light house man

4) ships in a bottle

5) hidden stereo for shanties

6) more foliage

7) A mural on the garage door

Oderlesse..ifn you lived close to me I could of helped you to do the mural. What kind of scene you looking for? You are on the right track with a projector. If you cannot afford that there is always the old method of squares and then freehand the design in to each of the squares from a smaller pic, like we did back in the old school days...lol

This is a little bit of work but it is something you can do yourself using the art you find on line.......for my project I found large pirate book covers and movie posters on line ...downloaded them...might be piracy< I think...lol......I then printed them on my home printer, cut them out and applied them to posterboard with Modpodge.....I put on a coat of modpodge and while it was wet laid on the pictures and then applied an overall coat of modpodge...it drys within an hour and is ready to mount....I framed mine and put it on my dressor for now.

Just an Idea which might work for you in some way.

Best

KP that came out very nicely (applause heard in background :P ). I love decopaging myself. I have used Victorian stickers to do a collage on the sides of a narrow bookshelf and then varnished over.

Thank You...I recon the varnish would add to the texture and give it a weather proof finish.....I do the same thing of pirate chests...works fine for me

I'm really glad you did all this, I'm in love with it and it gives me lots of ideas for my pirate bar/cove I'd like to make. The only thing is I live in a apartment so I can't really do anything major to the walls and floor like paint but I'll think of something.

Silent, sigh it's tough being a renter isnt' it...I am too. But I thought about your comment and also I was thinking about seriously doing Decorative Painting when I either quit (ha ha ha :lol: ) or retire :huh: and was thinking what I could use as portfolio material and I was thinking about painting mural scenes on a big peice of plywood. You could apply this concept as well. Paint something on a large panel and move it against the wall you want...take it with you later, plus no damage to the walls...VOILA!

Pirate Seika/Cptn John, congratulations! I know that feeling of grand ideas of decorating. I am going through the exact same phase myself. My house is, unfortunately, pink vinyl siding a la John Mellencamp's song "Pink Houses, and I am on a mission from God to change it to an olve green grey. I was driving around Sarasota, Fl. and I found this lovely little house (which is almost identical to my house) which I am basing my color scheme on, it looks very tropical.

As for my back yard (this photo is my yard in NJ, not the sarasota house above), I am today dealing with the nor'easter deluge, which is creating flooding problems in the yard. I am deciding whether to remove the moat or not. TYhe yard needs a lot of work before I can "pyratize" or put up a tiki hut:

Matusalem,

Just a thought here when I saw the water in the backyard. Dig out the backyard put in a giant pond with islands, reefs, ports, maybe even some sharks with laser beams attached to there heads (Oops wrong movie), and such, then add scaled down remote controlled sailing ships with small cannons and have sea battles. What say ye? B)

:ph34r:

P.S. okay how about some evil tempered seabass instead?

"AND the scantilly clad females....can't be forgettin them"

No, Patrick, no!!!!!

This is Northern New Jersey (Sopranos country)....you do not, under any circumstances, want Venus De Milo statues. I'd look like all my gangster neighbors if I did!However Live ones always welcome!!!!!!....and I happen to have 'no dress' :(:D

Oderlesseye, did yer artist ever show, or is he lost at sea?

The Artiste' has shown up and we have him booked/contracted for the last week of May...

I will be tearing down everything to accommadate the painting.. both walls will be treated in different ways...The primary wall will be the mural and the other wall will look like stone and wood... So it will be coming to fuition soon.

It's all gonna look different than before.. Good bye BLue -green walls!

The cool thing is that ifen eye ever move i can takie the primary piece of art with me/ the part thats mounted on the roll=up door.
