I can now see why folks have sheetrock on their ceilings

I'll post some picks once I'm further along.

How about some pics of the outdoor kitchen

Here's one off to the side:

In the back, behind the first post, is a 5 foot artificial palm tree with colored Christmas lights on it. I liked it so much when I put it up several years ago that it stays there permanently. I plug in the lights when I have guests arrive. I also have one of those cheap, tacky flamingo below that same tree just for fun :)

Double post - sorry. Bruce please fix, thanks.

Looks great. Poof, double post gone lol

Here's one of my wireless weather station. The steps next to it go down about 6 feet to access the garden. Where the limestone ends is another drop roughly 10 feet to the Vermillion River. The river is high in this picture - just took it. Otherwise you couldn't see it, live on the Teche Ridge - high ground.

The mailbox there with the sign is for fun as well. The chicks think I'm cool :)

You and Anne have a pretty place Randy, I like how you have done everything.. Life is good.

Thanks G. Life is good. Ann and I are two peas in a pod that's for sure. As you fellas can probably tell, heavily wooded out here.

I like it....I like the wooded look and also all the crushed stone.....clean look and don't have to mow those areas.

I'll have you know that's # 57 limestone, I'm particular about such things :rolleyes:. I pay more but worth it. I keep a beer cooler outside because I am outside all the time when I am at home until it get's dark. Made out of some real old cypress many years ago, very rustic. There's a faucet valve on the side you can't see for draining:

Looks like it's getting low. Saw some at some show a couple of years back, and you wouldn't believe what folks get for something like this. On the left of it is an old claw foot tub with a couple of Koi in it as well as a couple of shiners. Normally the Koi get about 12" long, then the big owls we have take them. Thanks for looking. Life is good.
