None of the decorations in the Dexter hizzy were paid for by anyone and the walls are full enough there is no space for me to hang my updated Battle of Gonzales flag :mad:

This is going to sound corny, but I am surrounded by my family on a daily basis, have a loving, wonderful wife who is 5 months pregnant with my future daughter, a couple of great dogs, and a steady income, then I guess yeah, all that's left is the material things. :flipoff2:

I have these...

Grub worms that then turn into june bugs that fill up my garage at night when I am working in there. I talked to my pest control sub and he is going to give me some bi-syn-thurnin (sp?) aka Talstar to spray on all the grass.

The PO left me a good running Craftsman riding mower and an Echo weedeater. I have plenty of work to do. I also have a dead tree. I will take some pics. Maybe someone can tellme if it will ever come back or if I need to yank it out.

Scratch the bark on the tree and see if there is any green for starters.

I plan on replacing the 6' pickets on the privacy fence myself in the next few weeks.

Also if you can't tell, there is wire mesh along the entire fence to keep the dogs in. The front section of fence that you see from the street is all 3 rail while the back side and far right side are all just caped on the top to save a little money.

Damn I didnt realize all that area behind the chainlink was yours too. Thats a bigass lot!

I have heard that you have to have 10 plus acres now for ag exemption. Any less is considered "hobby".

Replaced the rotting pickets, added a 3rd/middle 2x4 rail and realigned the swing gate. You can't really tell, but the gate is out 6' from the house
