The Grand-Daddy of all Pirate Play Ships in KY

Here are some pics of Mike and Penny's place in Louisville, Ky just a couple months ago. This family was great and there are alot of 'em! They opted for the whole She-Bang...all the upgrades including the Birds Nest and 100 ft Zip Line! This was the most challenging project we've done to date because of the extreme heat we had to endure. Issac Garcia came with me on this one and I think I just nearly killed him dead...I'm glad we both survived to tell about this one : )

In these pics you'll see the awesome black Ship with the Birds Nest on the main mast, a launching pad for the overhead zip line that starts on the Ship and lands 100 ft down hill (killer!), and also the view from the ship up to the newly installed pool. These folks know how to do it right...they even have a rockin' sand volleyball court to go with it all. I think I may have to go stay with them for a few days just for a retreat! Mike and Penny were great and we've got tentative plans to build a "Swiss Family Robinson" type tree village down by their creek one day! Can't wait...and I can't wait for more Pizza, Mike!

"The Walden" Play Set


Greenville N.C., Great New Friends, & Some Dang Good Grub!


PPS just returned from the great state of North Carolina after building a massive oversized ship for the Harper Family in Greenville, a small eastern town about 1 hr from the coast. 10 y/o Tyrone got quite a surprise as he started to see the huge boat take shape in his own backyard and he instantly bonded with it. Before you knew it he had his big fire truck and other cool stuff up on the deck of the ship while we were still hard at work!
We really had a great time with Tiffaney, Andre, and the whole family who we got to know during our five day stay. Too bad we sent Tiffaney to the Hospital!...Sometimes our work is so impressive that we just send folks into shock...sorry about that! : ) I've never really visited N.C. and I have to say I was impressed! Mostly I loved the people...and their accent, very unique! Thanks to Tiffaney for giving us a try and we hope we've lived up to everything she expected. She sent me home with a huge serving of their famous pulled pork and lots of other good stuff...That really get me on down the road! Oh, and a big thanks to Shawn for helping us build the ship...great job man! Here are a few pictures from our time in Greenville...and yes, we'll be back : )

Jenna's 10th B-Day on the New Ship - Biloxi, MS

Here are some sweet pictures sent by the Robinson Family in D'Iberville (close to Biloxi) MS of the Pirate Birthday Party they had a day after we finished their Huge Ship! It didn't take long for us to find out that these folks are serious about the Pirate Life...

Pirate Play Ships Builds Neptunes Trousers in Biloxi, MS

We had a great time meeting Paul, Toni, Michelle, and Jenna Robinson down on the Bayou! We arrived Tuesday night late and got going in the morning while dodging a little rain here and there. The weather the rest of the time was just gorgeous...We just really enjoyed creating this work of art in the cool breeze and sunshine! This family is all about Pirate stuff and the ship fit perfect as a new member of the krewe! They had planned a huge Pirate birthday party weeks ago and just had to have a "Big" Pirate Ship in the yard to kick it off! They will have lots of years of fun on this one and we had a blast building it. Here are some pics from our time there. The family will get me some pics to post of them on the ship after Mardi Gras is over! : ) Oh, and thanks again, Toni, for the beads...the kids love 'em!

We actually finished up at 10 P.M. Friday night...This is the pic I got right before we left!
