El Rancho

Fabulous 50's home is rescued by overly opinionated guy with too much free time and a gay man's flare for design. Woo hoo!! Grab a pinata and a stick - sounds like a party!

One man's shed is another man's tiki hut.

this is the shed adjacent to the deck:

the inside is split in half (hence, the two doors). the left side is on a concrete slab and seems to be some kind of workshop, but is very dingy and dirty. the right side has stone down, paver base (limestone) or something and looks to be storage for a mower, lawn tools, etc. I am pretty excited about this thing for two reasons:

numero uno: with some clean-up and renovating, the left side should make a nice bar with a window on the left wall opening out to the deck.

numero deuce: the right side will allow me to store all of my outdoorsy stuff and not clutter up the garage.

i haven't totally figured out what i will do to the outside but a tiki hut instantly popped into my mind. this will be the last outdoor project i handle ... except i plan to clean it out and knock down the approximately one zillion wasp nests inside of it before it a) gets too hot b) the ill-tempered residents of those nests decide to come back and repopulate. also, there is a decent amount of termite damage to the left side ... however, it is restricted to just the shed and not the house or garage. i will take steps to ensure they never come back. EVER.
