Then they can walk into a separate fenced in area behind the concrete fence which will have their swing set . This area will have no gate...so no way for them to escape to the highway. Here is a picture of our fireplace. The rest of the pics can be seen on Kodak by clicking HERE ! Jax and Ronin love seeing the workers there. Especially when Grandaddy is there. Jax was talking to my Dad on the phone last Monday when the crew got there. He said to my dad, "My workers are here Gwandaddy ." Jax has been a big helper.... Ronin , not so much.
