Well it is finally ready. The first in my urban edition installs. I learned a lot from this, but it is up and only the beginning.
The aftermath, with a whole lot of clean up.

Nice thing I found on the way home, time to start another one. Three full pallets made out of really nice wood.

Getting ready to head out over the river and through the woods to Grandmother’s house, I stopped by our local pie artisan. Beth’s Artisan Pies, in Carrollton right off the Bush Toll road and Josey Lane. These pies are all handmade, everything. Amazingly delicious! This time we got the traditional Pumpkin and Pecan. If you...
