slap me some MDO and fence me in on the side
shelter crew is applying the MDO. it looks great with each piece seperated by flashing.

they are just shooting nails in to get it hung. I think the olive looks great with the cedar and the charcoal flashing detail.

there is a business bordering our south property line. some sort of hair salon; and those who know me are aware of how I feel about hairdressers. my wife was uncomfortable about their customers being able to see into our back yard. so we're fencing them off! Jayson from zen design is working on a fence. YES! I still cut my own hair and refuse to pay money to cut hairs. which may be painfully apparent to those who have to look at my head, I rarely see the back of it. for all I know it might be really screwed up, doesn't really bother me. the stuff just grows right out of my head.

our new front door. this likely won't go up until after we're moved in. we have a construction door to take abuse.

this past weekend we finally made it to the new ikea in round rock.

I've been shopping ikeas since the late 80's, and this new store is just like all the others, maybe a bit bigger (it's texas). I was glad that it wasn't as crowded as those bay area ikeas (sardine factory). it's great to have one so near. I had to keep the purchases in check since we don't yet have the new house. have promised the kids and wife that we'll return closer to move in time.
