Good to hear your satisfied with the angels. Petland only had 4 *large
angels for sale today........and if I was going to be around here long
I would have bought them...about the size in diameter of what a soda
can is.......for $8.99 each and they were listed as black marble
angels.
====================
How is the work on your new house there coming along?

SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW......They do great work and have great
craftsmen, but they are extremely slow paced. Thing is friends we
talked to had no problems with contractors etc meeting the deadline
and these guys are highly recomended. Now everyone says they are
great but they take their own sweet time at doing it.....oh well at
least they are on the job every day and they are working on a fixed
price......At the rate they have all the floors being tiled it may
take another couple of more months, In close to two months now, they
are not even half way finished with the tile work, and they did not
even paint the outside yet, or start onthe two elevated
decks......which is not toomuch of a biggie as they did not even get
the wood in yet and are still waiting for it to get shipped in. We
canmove inwithout decks etc, but I do want the house inside finished
at least so there is not any congestion once we do move in. Still have
lots to go yet and odds are the July date is going to be
missed..............but heck were heading down there at the end of
this month for 2 more weeks, and then again end of June.for a few more
weeks......We loaded up a container for shipment that will go by boat,
so we have pretty well most everything that were taking already packed
up and setting in the container in the yard.. We have a pond being
constructed as well. It wil be for tropicals though not goldies or
koi........It will have a large upper pond with a stream runing
downgrade to a larger lower pond. Total gallons approx 6000
USG.....all free formed concrete with lots of ledges for plants and
marginals etc........
