These are the last of the gate pictures, scouts honor! Completion of the project required the installation of two posts with keypads, and I got that done yesterday morning. The only thing left to do is removal of the temporary post supports, a little shovel work, and the project is finished!
I used the tractor to widen the drive thru area, then dumped and spread some gravel on the surface. When driving thru the 10' wide open gate, you have to pay attention, but the width is sufficient for vehicles and pickups. Our motor home will fit, but at over 8 feet wide, that doesn't leave much clearance on either side. When we're coming or going in the RV, I'll open up the other half.
I had the trailer about half filled with yard waste, and Marc had some stuff that needed a trip to the dump. He's doing well after a second back surgery, but he's being smart about not lifting anything heavy. After I cut most of an oleander bush down, and threw some other junk in the trailer, I had a full load. Fortunately, Marc checked the dump website (the Internet knows everything), because I would have driven there, only to find that it was closed on Sundays. A trip to the landfill is on the agenda today. We stayed for a chicken dinner, Chandra's delicious macaroni and green salad, topped off with strawberry shortcake for desert. On to new, smaller projects today. It's only about 10 days before we leave for Alaska. Yea!!
