BTW, back left corner, is that a Silver Maple or a Fairview Maple?

If you are talking about this tree it is a Shumard Red Oak.

No, there is no one behind us.  THe house behind us is a "farm" that doesn't grow anything or have any animals.  We can't see their house from our backyard.  It is totally a green belt behind us. 

That's why I was thinking of buying a lot on the tracks up the road in my neighborhood. Nothing behind you.

Yahoo's off. In the circle, there are 4 on the left, 3 homes on the right. I'm the second one from the top left, inside the circle.

Damn, that's nice. That looks like Mr. Miyagi's house.


LOL what does Mr. Miyagi's house look like? 

You don't remember Karate Kid, with all the work sanding at Mr. Miyagi's home? All that woodwork, those Koi ponds, etc.? It was awesome.

It's really gorgeous, BEG. How are you liking it? I'd love sitting on that deck. Gorgeous! :-*

It is so weird, just adding the arbor makes it feel like a room.  Totally different feeling.  We love it.

I look forward to enjoying it too someday whenever we get the red lady get together going.  :uhsure: :-* :-*


There needs to be a meet up to properly break it in.   :evillaugh:

Yes, there would be much fun had by all.  Since it stays hot as hell all the way into October we have plenty of time to do it.   :-)

I don't sweat the small stuff. If someone shows up at my house, they better either be a hot chick, or a guy with money. Some fool shows up unannounced, like a DUmmie, he'll be met with a .45 ACP.

Huh? Looks crystal clear to me. Only thing missing is a Rebel, some Coronas, and a few limes.

It's okay Rob, I understand you're jealous of BEG's awesome deck.

I would look nicer if the deck's wood  matched the bridge over the pond. Maybe it's just the light.

You should send pictures to Better Homes and Gardens and some other mags.  Those pictures are awesome and I would be willing to bet they would want them in their magazines.  You guys did an incredible job! :cheersmate:

Yeah we paid all this money to have the deck rebuilt & stained and had them use a different color stain on the bridge.   :whatever:

It was crepe myrtle flowers and if I had skimmed them out of the water by the time I had put the skimmer away there would be more of them floating in the water.  Besides, I took the pictures for family, not for the cover of a magazine you a$$wipe.

I forgot what an a$$ you were while you were MIA.  My husband just finished putting the bridge in place yesterday.  There are two pieces of wood (each on the ends of the bridge) that were stained yesterday so they haven't aged like the rest of the cedar.
