Fence Building


Here are some preliminary photos of the fence building. This is the back corner...the one that separates us from the crazy neighbors. Is it wrong we started there?

Here is one of the doggie gates. This gate gives Monte and Mulligan access to Maggie, their German friend who lives behind us.

Here you can see a more "finished" version of the crazy neighbor's side. This is not complete, however. The fence actually gets some pretty fancy finishing touches. We should have those up someday. For the meantime, we are just trying to make it functional to keep to the Portuguese maniacs contained.

More perspective


For those of you who don't know...a few months ago we decided to trade in the Jeep Wrangler for a more appropriate "family" vehicle. Now...this is a Honda Pilot (lovely car, by the way, I am truly enjoying it), the Pilot is a large vehicle. It seats 8; seriously, it's big. Check one out sometime and then look back at this picture. It is swimming in this garage! Incredible!

So much for building to sell...



Well, our intentions were good. Build it ourselves + sweat equity = big profit! Or it did before the garage came into play. Check it out. This place is Ian's heaven. He has so much space, storage, a huge work area, it's never ending! To give some perspective- look in the picture above and to the right- that is the Datsun under the grey shroud. A car doesn't even take up a quarter of the width, and forget the length!



Ian really has worked hard on getting his garage in order and seems to be enjoying his time down here.
