It does take time, but I love being outside, so it's exercise and gives me something productive to do vs going for a walk, which I also do from time to time. Brian
Too old at this point to install them, but great idea. Brian

Thanks to everyone for humoring my need for external approval. Brian

I see it. This picture came from a book we purchased on a trip to China in 1999. Bought it in a Taoist temple. The main image is of Laotzu the author of the Dao de Ching. Do you see what's hidden...

Planning on building a 4 x 4 table out of cypress. I should have enough lumber in my inventory to do a top that is 1-1/2 or 1-3/4 thick. Planning on the apron for the top to be @ 5" wide with 90...
