@GravitySucks Tipi, also tepee or teepee, looks great. You mentioned rewarding your neighbors with fresh tamales. Did you make these? Nonetheless I love tamales and I wish to procure some. I used to work at a Tex-Mex restaurant that was family owned and the grandparents would come up from Corpus Christi and bring the tamales they made. I easily could eat 10 of them.
By the way, I do recall the pics of the cedar planks. I would so love to make some shelves, or a bookcase out of them.
Anyway, I am glad you're feeling good about having it all set up and the impending ceremony. You know I'm being sincere. Cheers to you sir.
