They had to be big and flat, and free. So my husband mentioned this mountain pass he drove by where they were blasting away, so one weekend off we went. Well the best rocks were in this raveen, straight dowwwwwn - so all the climbing up and down with rocks, then the drive home with the huge pile in the back of the truck - not to mention the stupid photo radar ticket we got in the mail a couple weeks later. Unloading the pile at home. I spent a month carting the rocks around and stacking, taking apart, restacking, etc. I had muscles in my arms like you wouldn't believe and I was in such great shape that spring. And I slept like a baby every night. If anyone wants to loose weight, increase muscles and get into great shape...just build a couple rock walled gardens on a sloped piece of property. fiftyfinallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16019730729530487031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-60085170996571251982012-10-12T13:33:42.661-04:002012-10-12T13:33:42.661-04:00Where can I pick me up some Dan?

I hope you find a garden gate1 I did see some neat gates on the web site for MacKenzie Childs but it's not an antique nor in that price range! I know you will find it in good time! <br />We've been getting a lot of rainy days and the autumn colors came a bit early this year. It's beautiful to see as always- but today it feels like November! Hope you are enjoying your autumn in New Hampshire! Hugs from Michigan!

Regarding a source for an iron fence unfortunately I wish I could help however with the dimensions you give, (now I am reaching here and of course it would require Dan's now-how to customize it)but if you come up empty on your search, do you think that an old iron headboard for a twin size bed might work?
