Thanks Bob!! I feel for you..My folks used to live in AZ..Man it's just too hot for me in the summer. But great in the winter. Have you thought about a tarp type of covering for your crawler spot..May help with the sun? |

Yeah its hot for about 2 months, but ya can't beat the other 10 months of the year usually. As for a tarp, our area we're gonna set up to crawl will be about 15' x 50' so that would be rough to cover.

Nice! Always like to check out what everybody else is doing. I like the tree bridge. I've been spending a fortune on preasure treated wood & my budget analyst says I'm done buying bridge materials but I can do that for free... more bridges. looks like more of a challenge too. Good work.
