    You'll be busy keeping rock and mulch seperated

    Yeah, it's going to be a challenge but we did the best could without lifting the house up 50 feet. I would have gone all rock, but that would look awful.

    Whoa. That's one hell of a KOI pond.

    I had a disaster a few months ago and lost all my KOI. I just have a bunch of babies now.

    Got a new ride/project being delivered tomorrow from Georgia. It too will need air suspension to clear the driveway.

    I'm also gonna need to get a lift for the garage so I can store it, but my ceiling is a little over 9 feet high.

    I bought my literal childhood dream car. 1992 showtruck b2200 lowrider. Built in the early 90s and has been in storage since 1996.

    The inside is even crazier than the outside.

    Twelve 12" subwoofers etc etc etc etc

    But......... it needs a lot of updading of the electronics from sitting for so long.

    I lived in Los Angeles in the late 80’s into the early 90’s and that truck would have been a huge hit. Yes this is so freaking cool….i bet it’s a real experience cruising in it. I know you’ll be playing the correct tunes in it!!!

    ****ttt yeah it was a real experience. It showed up on the car hauler with a flat tire, dead battery, screaming serpentine belt and no brakes. I had to limp it home through the hills yanking the emergency brake lol

    I guess that's expected from a truck that's been in storage for 28 years.

    Told my wife I was buying a truck and this jalopy shows up. I'm in the dog house.
