I thought that was your work, Steve. I saw the link a few months back
and was impressed. Was it not you who posted them?

Bob

He gets .................................................. ... $3,000 each!

In a subdivision where people pay $1.5 million for a lot that is PURE
LAVA. To them, a $3k gate is chump change.

Steve

Hey - I'd guessed higher than that!

Works of art are worth more money than stock items, right?

The only thing that keeps SWMBO from badgering me to get one is that we
don't have a fence. grin

(She knows that I'm not skilled enough to make one for her.)
