I love the little hut with the thatched roof.

What a nice view! What's housed in the green cage?

That's my bearded dragon's sun room.

Thanks.
My neighbors think I'm nuts.
Is it ok if I pull your weeds?
Would you mind if I trimmed your palm?
Had some scraps of Teak wood seemed like a fun project.

If that kitchen window is over the sink, I bet it will mean the dishes are going to be gotten to a lot sooner for washing. :D I love your hut!!

I like it a lot! I would try to get a little more shade though.

Agreed.
I just finished the box last weekend and the hut today.
I threw in a few things I had on hand for a photo op.
I am far from done.
I'm either going to add a grapevine arbor or a little redwood trellis to cover the right 1/3.
Fortunately the weather here in San Diego is pretty mild year round and I would never leave a tort outside unattended on a really hot day.

They are cuttings from the Jade plants in my backyard. It's a succulent that goes nuts around here one broken little piece hits the ground is a new plant.

I put 3 inch stainless screws through chunks of old nylon cutting boards and used them to anchor the plants.
I have some in The Trash Mahal as well.

I used 50/50 top soil and peat moss.
I planted it with a blend of grass seed that should start coming up in a week or so.
That bird feeder is constantly covered with Goldfinches year round.
They go through about 20 pounds of thistle seed a month.
They are so ridiculously cute and fun to watch we can't resist feeding them.
