The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Make it like an arbor or garden gate. You can landscape in front of it and put some climbing plants on the arbor.

I'll have to look at my options...I'm going to check out those picket fence sections, which might be the easiest thing, and I think they have gates that set right into those. My biggest concern is that the snow plow tears up the first few feet of lawn every winter, so if I'm not careful (i.e. don't put the fence back far enough), I'll have to redo it in the spring...ugh!

Just take the fence out as an extension of the front of the house, you don't need to take that any closer to the road. If the snow plows take out the front of your house, you've got bigger problems than landscaping!

"Whenever women have insisted on absolute equality with men, they have invariably wound up with the dirty end of the stick. What they are and what they can do makes them superior to men, and their proper tactic is to demand special privileges, all the traffic will bear. They should never settle merely for equality. For women, 'equality' is a disaster."

"R.A.Heinlein (Lazarus Long)"

Cute quote from Heinlein. I kind of like the feel of it. Found it on a homepage here.

Ha! Jeanne told me before we even got married that I wasn't even to be rude to her.

HA! - She probably doesn't tolerate 'rolling of the eyes' when you want to say something but don't! Tough!

I will probably come a few feet forward of that corner...not to the road, but maybe six feet out. If I just put it straight to the right of the corner, it won't be much of an area.

The snow plow is a good thing, but I wish they could be more selective of what they plow!

Good morning everyone!

First off - let me say HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAIR!

I've made you a cake...

Now, as for the rest of breakfast, I've made some lovely pigs in a blanket, 3 stacks of flapjacks with maple syrup, 7 platters of bacon and sausage, sausage gravy, buttermilk biscuits and banana nut bread. Coffee is ready and juices are chilled. ENJOY!!

Corin and g'nad - hope you guys have a blast at the Dwarfmoot. Remember to take those pics for ksen! LOL! Oh, and as far a bacon goes, don't worry! I have plenty of cows! *grinning at Overtaxed*

Morning all. It's Friday and I only have to catch up on office work instead of teach. Gravy work. But still a lot of it. MMMmmm Hair's cake is yummy!

Cake for breakfast, I'll be bouncing off the office walls in a moment!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAIR!!!!

Hope you aren't suffering from the celebration. Hope you are sleeping late! Hope our yelling happy birthday isn't waking you or disturbing the bourbon from last night.
