Oasis Ready for Snowbird Friends

Other than some additional paint and clean-up and plants the Oasis is pretty much ready for my winter friends. It has been quite a bit of work, but I am extremely happy with the results - evenings out watching the World Series has been quite pleasant, other than the fact that Boston won - but hockey season has started so will be watching some more games outside.

New Furniture!


New Heater for Ed and Shirley! Have to shorten by about 14 inches to fit under the trellis!


Very pleasant in the evening hours...


The solar shield provides nice shade and should hold in the heat from the new heater!


I Have some great plans for new appetizers and snacks!



I Plan on some wonderful Happy Hours and relaxing on my new patio, hurry up winter friends!

Oasis - Paint, Music & Trellis

Since returning from Ohio I have been busy working on the trellis and new items for the Oasis. I have added interior and exterior speakers and new amp for stereo, wire shelves, another set of metal shelves and finished the wood part of the trellis. Hardware store trip today for a few more painting accessories then will get it finished over the weekend - flat area of the shed will get a coat of beige paint in the coming weeks.

Once I get the trellis painted I will be installing the sun shield fabric and the ceiling fan...also have more outdoor furniture ordered so when my winter friends get here there will be some nice seating.

The rest of the trellis is up!


Dark brown trim is started the entire trellis will be dark brown!



New wire shelves


4 stereo speakers - two inside and two outside


New stereo amplifier - still needs a little wire cleanup! It sounds great!


Another set of standing shelves for tools etc...


Two more 6 foot lengths of LED Light tubes for the trellis - on a dimmer!


Paint supplies!


Hope to have everything completed by the end of the month, ready to enjoy some nice music and friends at Cap's Oasis!
