~ Guess What This Is! ~

You’ll never guess what this is:

Not in a million years.

Or this.

Or this.

In truth, I had no idea what in tarnation those pictures in my dropbox were.  My Captain is forever putting photos in the dingdang box without bothering to explain them to me.  Usually I have to rely on my wits and imagination to figure it out, but this time I found these photos immediately following, and suddenly knew exactly what I was looking at!

Ain’t our new arches purty?

He done did good, that man o’ mine!  (well, he and Papa!)

Next up, the siding.  We have bickered over wood tongue-and-groove versus Hardie Plank.  We’ve argued about brick versus board-and-batten.  And then our friend, and hardworking postal carrier, Debbie, suggested we use stone.  My Captain laughed, until he saw the gleam in my eye.  I slowly smiled a knowing and dangerous smile, and he sobered up immediately.

And now we are arguing about whether to go with Yakima River Rock….

or Coldwater Creek.

Personally I’m in love with the Yakima River Rock, only not so spread apart.  My Captain is about ready to just slap up some Tyvek and call it a day.

Any suggestions?
