Mikie's Fun House version 4.0 has a narrow balcony with barely enough space for this single place hammock. It was made with a loosely woven cotton thread and wore out rather quickly. The hammock stand was all metal and rusted quickly, but as a wise man once observed: "any hammock is better than no hammock".
This is a place where I have spent many pleasurable hours.
Some special nights I fall asleep here,
to the sounds of the surf,
while watching the stars drift through the sky.
I have solved many of the world's problems here,
and then I go to sleep
only to forget the solutions when I wake up!
After the first hammock wore out, I replaced it with a canvas model which has proven much more durable (made in Honduras). I had to do some inventing to build a hammock support which was not in the way, underneath the hammock, and was not attached to the new metal railing (a requirement of the homeowner association rules).
