Texas Spring/Summer Thread

Well, here I am at Lazy *** Ranch and I'm eating breakfast before daylight. Mike and Bernice have the best kind of Heaven, homemade.

We are off to get more steel in a little bit and then the plan gets to come together. I mean what kind of Lazy *** Ranch would it be without as automatic gate operator? Not Bernice's kind for sure, Mike's either I'll bet.

Brandi, your expectations can't be too high when it comes to Jim.

Harv,
Don't worry, I'm not holding my breath.
hugs, Brandi

Okay .. 6 am they was having breakfast .. 11 hrs later and no pictures? They must be having too much fun!!!

Mike called this morning to ask about some decorative expanded metal I told him the wrong place. It was not bought in La Grange it was bought in Houston 10 years ago. So that bit of info had them running in the wrong direction this morning. However I made it up by helping them this afternoon. I was supervising the post holes for slide rails on the side. We only had to reposition 50% of the holes. I had to leave (missing out on the evening fun) but I think they will get more done now, but they may not post any pics till dark.

With any luck they will have the poles set and the rails painted so we can get to the good part tomorrow - The Slide Gate.

Didn't get the poles set ...sorry....redug the 2 holes, painted 2 rails, and started forming up the gate. Starting to get there.

These are some before photos of the entryway. Mike and Don poured the concrete for the gate earlier in the week.

 

[wroughtn_harv]

We've started the gate. It's a hybrid, Mike's design, my techniques.

L-R ...Kyle, Harvey, txdon, mikim, bindian, and sitting jinman

 

[mikim]

yeah -- Glenda had the ipad upside down when she took the pic and Harvey posted it as is.....oops.

 

[Bird]

Looks like jinman has the best deal; a plate full of groceries and a Shiner Bock.:laughing:

 

[mikim]

If you look closer Bird you'll see a shiner in my hand as well. The reason Jim's eating alone is - he & Kathy were late and the rest of us were done.

 

[bindian]

Oh my gosh Sixdogs. I was crying a third of the way through that video. That's ones a keeper!:thumbsup:

I want to think all Y'all I got to meet today. The food was great and the company even greater. The middle photo in Mike's post is of me with my daughter Rebecca on the couch, and my Grand daughter on the floor. Behind us is Glenda.

I'll try to stop back by there, on the way home Sunday from my daughter's house, to make sure they are making progress.
hugs, Brandi

It was a great time seeing everyone again and Mikim and his wife are 2nd to none when it comes to hosting. Y'all really have a beautiful place and home. Very well thought out.

My little boy had a great time too (playing with your grandson).

Great folks, great conversation, great food.

Folks, I will tell you that you would have a hard time finding a nicer group of people.
