I don't know what I was thinking going to work. I just looked outside and I don't know how I'm going to get home.

LOL, ya i had a basic shovel, not a snow shovel.......you can see it in the back ground up against the fence.......i then used the yellow squeegee backside of the push broom and got the bulk of snow out the way.....after that, once i got traction i made it up the driveway......

The sky has a factory clutch pack diff, so it wasn't so hard...

Look like all the dogs had a ball in the snow ! I know mine did also.

My favorite pic from the snow series so far is the Abstract tree limbs with snow on them.

J,

This specific Pergola is actually Aluminum painted like Red Cedar. I bought it BNIB from someone on CL when we bought the house. Our old house had one & I wanted to build a patio space out back. It stayed in a box for a year until we finally got the cash to have a patio framed & poured....actually we got the stamped concrete like flagstone.

I put the pergola together myself thought...it was very easy. I think it looks OK....not exactly what I would build out of Cedar or Redwood, but the price was right.... $ 500 these or this type are usually around $ 1100 and up depending on the size.

This one is 10' X 12' and actually is really sturdy....I just wish I had more cross beams that were 2" X 2" on top.

Check out these sites for ideas:

We had no power all day. A couple of trees in our backyard collapsed from the weight of the snow.

I guess im confusing this. I was asking about black out on the reflective area
and then color match for the gray piece that actually holds the lens and light.Does that make sence ?

A lady walks into Tiffany's. She looks around, spots a beautiful diamond bracelet and walks over to inspect it. As she bends over to look more closely, she unexpectedly farts. Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone noticed her little 'whoops' and prays that a sales person wasn't anywhere near. As she turns around, her worst nightmare materializes in the form of a salesman standing right behind her and he's good looking as well. Cool as a cucumber, he displays all of the qualities one would expect of a professional in a store like Tiffany's. He politely greets the lady with, 'Good day, Madam. How may we help you today?' Blushing and uncomfortable, but still hoping that the salesman some how missed her little 'incident', she asks, 'Sir, what is the price of this lovely bracelet?' He answers, "Madam, if you farted just looking at it - you're going toshit when I tell you the price."
