A very famous story by Mark Twain.
Takes place in Calaveras County....... a bit of history for you

Great riding in that area.

Thanks for that Derek....Mark Twain could spin a yarn for sure......I've heard stories of him bailing out of San Fran and hiding out in Angels area.....famous author and lots of landmarks & folklore up in the hills to these days.

what did you write in it?

if you don't feel like writing in it... i encourage getting a plaque made to squish in there. people like to know what happened [here] and on what day.

That's funny Hef, we sign all the concrete.

Here is all the garage got............

Here are my daughters and my hand prints in the house bottom floor 5 years ago. I took her out of school that day and she jumped right in and learned how to screen concrete, she was 10 at the time, it was a good day

............ The circle on photo is of our dog who has sinced passed

Here are all three of us on the back deck last year

P.S. I just gave Flickr.com $24.95

they got me.
I have friends and relatives following this from afar as well, forgive me my photo content.

The garage floor has a 4 inch grade over 24 ft towards the front and the apron has another 2 inch grade over 8 ft to the driveway

and it all slopes away left and right from the garage.

roof, walls, windows and doors

Lets not forget the gutters that grab all the water and drain it in my under ground cistern

Got started on that today!

My electrician donated his time to wire up the "Gabriola Ferry Line up Cam"

http://www.ferrycam.clayrose.com/ OK it's dark right now, but during the day you can see how fast you have to get your ass down to catch a boat out of here

seaweb11 · « **Reply #197 on:** September 06, 2008, 07:05:32 PM »

I have been quite busy around here, cleaning up the mess, today the electrician and I hit it quite hard

I found a garage door company that will run one of my doors up the 30 degree sloped ceiling so the runners don't screw up my interior roof line. They are coming on Monday. Need a bigger door motor and a heavier spring and it will slide right up there out of sight

You're going to need more bikes to fill it. What a great garage/shop!
