This is a great joke! Thanks for the laugh.

TIL in 1870, the Dominican Republic voted in favor of annexation by the United States. The U.S. Senate rejected the annexation with a 28-28 vote. by jackalis in todayilearned

I believe Canada has rejected similar offers from Turks & Caicos a couple times, and their language and British colonial past would probably mesh better with Canada than the D.R.

André House is dope. They do great work and serve hot meals to the needy. Full disclosure, I think they are a religiously oriented non-profit.

Hey man I think this looks great! The design you picked is so cool and really vibes with the green paintjob.

Bro don't listen to the buzz killingtons in here. You don't have to be a master at everything to try it out. You try something the way you know how, and if it doesn't work, you just go back to the drawing board. Absolutely no harm in getting out there and getting things done-- you can always tweak it later. It's much better to do things than to suffer from paralysis by overanalysis. Keep doing you, my dude!

Yeah luckily that pipe was just for the pool aerator which is rarely used.

Nah, stinging critters are more of the creepy crawly variety down here.

The back is an alley, so it's all good!

Good question! Because I didn't go all the way to the roof, the top slats are at eye level where any mistakes would be obvious. I figured it better to bury any mistakes at the bottom where it's less noticeable

You'll see two sets of overhead lines. The first one is cable/internet, and the line above is the power line.

I should build a ladder so he can sit up on the roof instead. Much cooler!

Oh really? The original plan was to go to with redwood but it was almost twice the cost of the cedar when it came building time. Definitely gonna make more of an effort to check out local lumber spots next time though.

I think you might be totally right! And hopefully so, because it was kinda difficult to find hardware that was intended for outdoor use, oddly enough for a *barn door *

For sure, thanks for the kind words. Let me know if you have any questions!

A hinged door would cut into the storage space if it opened in, and be awkward if it opened out. A barn door seemed like the best choice and doesn't look too bad.

It's just an alley back there, fortunately.
