Today was not a car day. It was View Improvement day.
I cut down two pines that impaired the view of the dry
(-ish) lake bed from the new addition, and cut up the blue
spruce they pushed over with the Cat before construction
began. All for next winter's firewood. More tomorrow,
I think.

BTW, Jim, what's the latest with the construction project?
It's painted. The stone work is done except for some
mortar joints. Lights in yesterday. The wood stove was
installed today. Carpet and deck railing are about all
that's left.
Oh, and landscape repair. Lots of that...

BTW, how's the construction going?
Wiring is all in, for good or ill. (I planned Cat 5e and RG6
feeds from here to there, let's hope I did it right.) Speaker
cables run for house 'Muzak'. Media room wiring wasn't to be
a part of this project, this isn't where the big stuff's to be.

Pine tree potting soil. At least, so it seems based

up everywhere. Decomposed granite, very well drained.

Yeah, don't push that too hard. With a 6-car garage, you shouldn't have
to. Besides, it sounds like it's your wife's turn for something nice.
Eight-car garage. Did I imply the house didn't have a garage
before I put on the extension? :-) Even so we've got as many
