Below are BEFORE, DURING, & CURRENT pics of our beloved gate. I hesitate to use the word "After" because we will eventually build a beautiful gate :-)
 |
| This is the gate that Terry and Ben built about 2 years ago. |
 |
| And here I am jumping out of the truck to unlock and open it, as I did many, many times! Notice to the left is a mound of dirt and a lot of not-so-pretty trees and brush. Good-bye! |
 |
| Not a great pic (from phone) but you can see the clearing is done and the little gate we used to drive through is still there. We (and builder) have decided to leave a pile of trees and brush there for the time being as a barricade to discourage the dishonest from driving on through. Unfortunately, it will probably only discourage the honest. The dishonest will find a way... |
The new gate is twice as wide. It separates the front 2 acres from the back 8+ acres and home site. By the way, Terry has lost a good bit of weight lately and is lookin' good!
 |
| This is the front acreage, taken before the driveway was put in. The gate would be to the far right, out of the picture. | |
|
 |
| And, for the sake of posterity, this is the view looking on the back right of our property (before construction). | | |
|
|
Again for posterity, this is back left--looking to the left of our home site.
And this is looking directly straight ahead to our future home site (before the mess of construction, of course). |
