And you're saying you done this all yourself in part of a day? You are a
liar as well as a coward!

That took you all summer? Wow. And I can tell your already screwing
up. The edges of that is going to look like **** in 2 years or less.

If it is all Bush's fault, then how come Obama is doing much more of the
same and expecting different results?

It took me today, after the necessary soil was removed, and since the
"edges" aren't finished yet, your moronic statement is...moronic.

Nice.. I like bricks. Are the square holes just missing square bricks
or are you putting a railing or something there?

Looks good. It would take a 'small' army of freaks...or loonies to
get all that done.

I have to cut some "brick" to fit the square holes, and put them in sort
of like you would in a jigsaw puzzle. The brick, by the way, is actually
concrete brick. They're a lot stronger than clay brick, and, like clay
brick, the color goes all the way through. I have to cut some brick to
fit up against the concrete cylinders that support the deck posts.
*That* is going to be interesting, since the cylinders are round. :)

The next project is to install a gas fireplace in the master bedroom.
It's simple carpentry, but I am hiring a licensed plumber to run,
connect and test the gas line.

As far as has been evidenced here, Loogy has absolutely no skills in any
area. My Harry Homeowner skills are modest, but I am tenacious.

Can you believe how much I was able to do, and yet, I was still able to
post insults all day long. I would work for 15 minutes, come in and
post insults for 30 minutes, then go back out and work 15 minutes. It
was a very tedious day.

Don't forget to leave a bit of beef for rec.boat's right-wing
conservatrashers and ID spoofers to feed upon. The more they feed, the
quicker rec.boats will fall into the black hole of cyberspace and
disappear.

A round peg is a square hole... lol

I ran some gas line from underneath the house to the laundry room (it
was really easy to extend the pipe), and made all the connections
myself. I had a licensed guy who was doing something else check my
work as I went just to be sure. :)
