Sorry ive been away. AT&T somehow cut our lines down the road somewhere and we lost all phones and dsl until today. The guy was in the backyard looking for the phone line and came back around front to ask if I knew there was a big ole black widow sitting in a web right where he needed to be.
I told him my story of finding 5 or 6 (6 or 7 now) and showed him the remains of three in a bug jar.
Okay, so we started on the obs Sunday. After all the wondering I did about which size to choose, we settled on the 11x6 that we had plans for since neither one of us knew anything about carpentry. I couldnt even put the boys powered Jeep thingie together without a small pile of left over parts that should not have been, and a dozen bandaids.
We wanted to go bigger, but kept running into trouble with local lumber outlets not having bigger lengths of wood.
They said 'you can do it, we can help', but I think they were secretly laughing at me and snickering on a security monitor somewhere in the back.
So.
I showed you all our little staked out square I think...
