Home improvement time

[HomeRacingWorld]

Looks like it is time for some home projects. We have slot car royalty on the way and this place needs a good cleaning and some sprucing up.

Project#1 - Putting up a privacy fence. Got the panels, line strung, and power auger rented. Yes, POWER.

So I will be in and out around here until evenings as The General has me on a strict schedule :)

So if I miss something or am late answering and email/PM...I will get to you as soon as I can.

Imagine a few thousand hound dogs sitting with their noses pointed skyward and their butts on the ground, howling at how they miss you. how-oooooolll! Eh, see ya when we see ya! Have fun. Remember to leave on panel that doesn't have overlapping spars so you can disconnect a large section to put big things behind the fence and hide them, like boats, Reinecke's Jeep, etc.

Slot car royalty? Wonder who it could be? Ooooh, I love a good mystery. Take it easy with the power auger they can get nasty around tree roots. :)

This has all spawned from The General finding me that Wheel Horse for restoration.

We first spoke of a new building to store it...this project gave the "green light" for the fence.

Oh...the Wheel Horse itself is basically "free". Ahem, but it looks like it is costing me a pretty penny :)

Yes sir, royalty. We are talking big shots. One is a master resin maker from the backwoods of Colorado, while the other is Picasso with the spray paint that resides in sunny Florida.

Why is it we wait until we are old to do projects like this?

Now THAT'S going to be a great visit. Have fun, guys.

This has nothing to do with making the property more pretty or anything.

It has to do with building this:


To keep the neighbors safe from this fellow from Colorado:

And this guy from Florida:

Hmmm... I suggest dropping a dual turbo diesel into that Wheel Horse before tackling that particular job. And mount that power auger on the hood with a set of crosshairs atteched to it.

Harry, what's one more project...here ya go: redneck flower pots:

If we put a rain gutter on the fence we could build a 2 lane monster :banana-rock:

[GENERAL MY WAY]

David,

You spoiled my next step!!! :D

[ListerStormGT]

Of course he would make me the one eyed bald guy.... :lol:

I am liking those tire flower pots though.

Just a quick question. When is the royalty arriving at your castle?, and could a humble serf such as myself procure an invite? :D

[HomeRacingWorld]

In just a few days...shoot me a pm sir.

What a day. BIG THANKS to DixonJohn. He really helped a lot.

Fence posts in. Man what a nightmare. I needed Fred Flinstone with one of those dinosaurs to get these things right.

Now a few minutes of rest and tomorrow the panels go on.

Lee - I figured you'd catch the likenesses!

David - you and I must be related - I got my fanny whipped by an auger a few years ago when it hit roots. Not my favorite weekend memory...
