So, anyway the first half of my trip to North Carolina went well. The second half went 'sideways'. We wreck our car and that pretty much ended things. The good take away was that no one was hurt.

C'est la vie.[:)]


I'm glad everyone is well. I'm going to make plans to meet with Mike Solli as soon as he and I find some time. He lives about 40 minutes away....GP

The injury is not skeletal, it is a deep muscle bruise. The tailbone gives me no pain, it is the deep muscle on the right next to it. I feel it when there is pressure on it as in laying on my back or sitting on it. So I just have to pivot slightly and get up more using my left side. I should be better before I get married![8|]


I just got up and had to read the last part twice. You're getting married??? If so, congratulations. And I hope that your tail is up for it[;)]....GP

I am not getting married, at least not that I know of![:(][8D]

Just got this picture from the builder's agent. We have siding and I'm really pleased with how things look! Not going to tell Mrs. USSA yet. We are driving over on Saturday and I'll let her be pleasantly surprised then. [8D]

Very nice. I especially like what you've done with the yard. [:D]

Thanks guys. Mike, we're going for that "too cheap to buy a lawn mower" look. [:D]

We're actually planning to get a riding mower that should make short work of most of the job. Leaving trees on about 1/3 of the property for now.

How big is the lot, Mike?

RE: THE THREAD!!!

The lot is 1.65 acres. It's about 120 feet wide and a very long rectangle going to the back, over 900 feet. With the septic drain field, they had to go back just over half of that distance to find acceptable soil. We are the last house on the street so we only have one neighbor whose house you can just see in the post above. Their lot also goes all the way back to the edge of the development. On the other side of our lot, and around the corner behind our lot is a big cattle farm. No idea how long it may stay that way, but it will be very quiet for a little while at least.

If you really are going for that look, keep it short near the house to prevent fires. Otherwise, contact a conservation officer about what native plants/flowers and such to plant and encourage for the bees and other wildlife that need it. Don't forget some food for the body and not just the soul, blackberries are a nice addition for that area I would guess.
