Comedian, in the wonders of architecture that fence is right up there with the best. Perhaps the women do not appreciate the effort that went into this labour of love, but Jocky recognises genius when he sees it. Cant wait till you build that greenhouse!
Nice fence Comedian and nice touch with the cigar.Originally Posted by The Comedian
Hello blokes, men, roughnecks, and gents --
I've a few images to share with you. As I briefly posted earlier, I was building a post/beam fence to edge my yard from the woods which it boarders. I've completed the project and wanted to share the results with you here.
Here's the fence -- made with treated landscape timbers and secured with galvanized bolts:
I took great pride in my work -- Nice and level:
My tools, the cordless drill is featured:
Afterward, the chief builder and architect was treated to some fitting rewards:
Cheers!Looks like you did a nice job. What part of the country do you live if you don't mind me asking?

That fence has a certain rough-hewn magic. It is a man's fence. The fence of a man. It's a he-fence. God I love it. Not in that way.
Comedian- Very nice fence
Those woods where you live are GORGEOUS!
But yeah...Miller light? I'm totally with Niamh on that one
The only acceptable American beer is Sam Adams imo
-- alexar: thanks for noticin'. I must admit that were it not for my two lovely children, that fence would be my proudest creation.That fence has a certain rough-hewn magic. It is a man's fence. The fence of a man. It's a he-fence. God I love it.
--Niamh: Thanks. I like the fence too.That's a pretty impressive fence! well done Comedian! But Miller Light? seriously?And the beer. . .well, I like to drink beer that suits my mood. A warm tavern on a cold winter day, give me hardy ale or stout. A hot summer day after some hard labor & a handful of Doritos (not shown in the pictures) calls for Miller Lite.

You will never believe this, but it is as true as I am sitting over this computer. The other night I was looking at the stars and thinking how lucky I was, when all a of sudden this disembodied voice started calling......Jocky...... Jocky, I realised instantly it was God calling me home, what is it you want father? Will you **** off and put Athiest on the line, I have got a big score to settle with him.

First, Comedian, may I compliment you on your beautiful fence? Maybe THAT'S what Wallace Stevens meant in that poem he wrote-what was that? "Anecdote of the Jar"?

Gimissung, where did you come from? This is a blokes only thread. Typical woman, you just cant see us having our little moment of pleasure. Athiest I hope you are man enough to deal with this unwanted intrusions. Stand up to them and we will all be right behind you, wont we guys? All right I cant help it, dont do it Jocky! Is that where Dubya comes from? Oh the yellow rose of Texas......Duh!

maybe, except, Brian, he loves women
Madhuri, that was a sneaky one. the way to connect with women is to set up a man only post. Athiest you know what your about, you have got to help me I am about to jump off Wigan Pier. : )
Athiest, I know I can be a pain but I am a big Orwell fan as well. Simon Schama in his History of Britain, does a wonderful comparison between the two Winstons. Dont know if you have seen it but, if not I will try to post it to you. Personally speaking, I think his social commentaries, i.e. The Road To Wigan Pier, are just as important as his novels, he represents all that is good in our country, and yes you have guessed it, he is an athiest.
Fantastic!
What a nice spot you live in as well.
Weight?
Haha! I have a few mates at a christian forum who think like that.
Quite right all round. (Except for the pain bit!
I agree with you on the importance of his works, as well. While I like 1984 as a story, it's no match for Road, Homage P&L and his essays. That's where Orwell's heart was.
If you haven't read A Clergyman's Daughter, find a copy and read what Warburton says on the subject.
Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

In their place ( I think you ladies know where that is ) I do, but all things aremaybe, except, Brian, he loves women

Athiest, I have to come clean about the salmon. It was quite difficult to estimate the weight. This may have something to do with the fact it was in a can.

At least tell us whether it was a 100, 200 or 400 gr tin!

Scheherazade, without trying to play this down, this may in fact be the biggest can ever recorded. My mates said it could have fed a small country for weeks.
