NEW GATE

Forth Worth, TX

Okay, I was supposed to have the gate and the fence on the other side of the house fixed as well as a new backdoor. Well, the guys did a great job on the fence and gate but the stupid store ordered the wrong dang door! So, it is back to waiting two more weeks. I was firm but nice about expecting more out of the store (Lowes) and told them that this should never have happened because I took the measurements to them and then they order a door 4 inches wider than it should be. So, I ended up not getting the door but when the new one comes in I get my money back so I will get it for free. 3 of my good friends came over and worked on the fence and gate and payment was I have to feed them steak tonight so that is what I did. Now, when they come back over in two weeks, I'll have to serve them homemade Lasagna. To me that's a deal because I love to cook and we always make a party out of it. So, the steaks are marinating, the potatoes are in the oven baking, the beverages are on the backporch in the fridge out there and just ready for everyone to get back over. These guys wives will be here soon. So, an eventful but sucessful day with more fun ahead. Going swimming after dinner and of course we will wait a little while so none of us will drown!

Only you could make an artistic shot out of a new gate! Quite of a tale of woe, but you seemed to have made a good day for everyone from it.

Never a dull moment, crazy angle for the gate.
Just have to paint it another weekend, another party?

Mmmm, steaks and lasagna! Not bad payment at all!

The colours are so striking, plus the angle adds to the shot!

Adding to Robin..this will go on to be the Smithdoor Saga. I hate how business is run these days !!!
