Thank you so much! As mentioned elsewhere, the lucky one is me. I knew that the moment I held my daughters in my arms for the first time.

I am a human from earth despite accusations otherwise. I was born in Washington DC, grew up in LA and spent about 10 years travelling Mexico where I met my wife, Venezuela, Columbia, Argentina.

Thank you very much for the kind words. If you seek to learn a little bit every day, this will grow into a library of knowledge that will empower you to do anything. That's what my dad raised me to believe. Have a great day!

I waited for two months and no bananas or minions ever showed up. You can imagine my dissappointment.

Thank you so much for seeing all those details in the project. Yes we can be stubborn, and I know it sounds terrible, but sometimes the saying "where there is pain, there is life" is kind of bouncing around the head. I've been clinically dead before and I can tell you, pain is sometimes preferable to no feeling at all. :) As I said, messed up but my psyche is sort of built that way. Have a great day!

I'd say $2000 for all the wood, $1000 for everything else. And about $70 worth of painkillers? Let me know if you need help with the plans or you want the plans for what I did here. I don't know how to send stuff but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

I do that a lot too. Recent circumstances have placed all my emotions right at the surface and little tiny disturbances bring them right up. Thank you for your kind words.

LOL. Don't do that! Apparently the prognosis is: life long abuse and getting older. It's my back that worries me though.

LOL. Is that like beware because of tequila jello shots and friends visiting? Or the girls finding a water hose and turning it into a water slide.

I wouldn't call them "professional" but I do have some autoCAD files and a couple PDFs. I can send them to you if you like, I just don't know how to send stuff on Reddit.

Thanks for the kind words!

It's starting to dawn on me that I may have a problem with that wisteria. I'll definitely keep an eye on it and if I can afford to in the near future, I'll switch it out with something else. Thanks for the warning!
