You know what they say, pick and choose your fights wisely.

One old correlary, if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all.

I've had my cotton-picken war of words on other threads, this thread is just for watching civil people. Besides, I don't care to take the time to either pick fights or be offended. (Oh well, not to belabor a point.)

Mo has a dandy high fence, an 8 foot high affair. Mine is a plank construction, 2" thick planks for pickets. They alternate 6" and 10" wide. 6" by 6" posts are sunk 36" in the ground every 8 feet, with 2 bags of cement per post.

Feels like a fortress wall inside. Tonight I start putting up iron straps around the top.

Keep those pictures coming, and I'll send a few your way to t'ief. www.corbis.com has a bunch of pictures, but the boogers want $5.95 if you would like to take a copy of one and use it for your personal projects. I did a search for 'Arches' on it, and it gave me 337 pages of thumbnails to look through.

And, I wouldn't tell you your pics were noteworthy except that I have seen far less noteworthy images gracing the walls of prestigious corporation offices.

Darn, that fence does sound like a fortress. My neighbors are far enough away that I don't need fences here, and my front to back yard is chain-linked in Fl. In Ma. I did have high fences. You needed them there, if you wanted any privacy at all.

I'll take your tiefed pics.. Just make sure they're big enough to work with. If they're under 800x? they are usually too small to do much with. If you tief, tief biiig.. lol.

Old playboys eh? Hmmmmmmm.... I'd probably have to find a lot of flowers, etc.. ;)
