Looks great.
nice colour choice.

So, you got a little busy, eh!
I'm sure you are loving it even more than we do!
Really good taste. Good job!
And a perfect mix between Halloween and Christmas! You're all set for the next couple months!

It was a bit of a fluke. A contractor ran town and left behind a huge inventory of already coloured paint with the local building supplier. The supplier then put on a fire sale to get rid of it all and I got the main colour you see there for $30 for ten gallons!!

I worked in a paint store for a while in college. We never had a problem selling the "wrong" color mix that contractors rejected. Most of it was expensive paint rejected by the homeowner who picked the color in the first place. At $30 a gallon, are you sure you didn't purchase the paint out of someone's trunk?

Wait a second. I thought I saw a picture from your house a couple of years ago looking out on a wooded valley. Are you really even Keith???

looks great Keith. I remember the view from the rear deck but not the front view - I actually remember there being a garage or carport on the left!
Update: darn it keith - there WAS a garage, where do you keep your bike in the winter?

Hey Bill! You're memory is pretty accurate. There's a carport to the left which is where we parked our bikes. To the right is the neighbour's garage. Over the years I've mostly taken my bike into the livingroom for winter but now store it elsewhere.
