I'll pass that on and show a picture to m father in law.. He thinks the place should look either 1) Like a golf course 2) Like his friend who is a multi millionare who runs a purebred operation as a tax shelter and has 3-4 full time employees just for grounds keeping or 3) Like JR Ewings place in Dallas... I think that is the impression I got.. Maybe if I show him the picture he will put on in as a "gift" for his daughter, lol...I'm wondering how long it would take a local hooligan to spray paint it, lol.

| They remind me a lot of the gates where I grew up. When I was young, and the area was more rural there weren't any but when folks start coming in and building their million or buck homes, and I mean million just for the house, has nothing to do with what it did to property values, these gates started popping up.. WE used to laugh about them because no one was that important to need to be walled in like that but it almost seems the norm that when new folks come in, they tear down the old house and build a mini castle with an iron gate.. About the only thing missing is a moat.
