Here is the May house, where I’ll be living soon with my lovely girlfriend, Anacelie.
There is a lot of work to be done here, so you’ll be seeing many other May house related projects posted on this site. For starters, we needed a gate across the driveway, for added security and to give the dogs a closed-in yard to play in.
Lets get started!
First, every job requires safety cones, flags, and a phone call with a long-handled tool to lean on, so as to look busy and also important.
After making cut-outs in the sidewalk for the steel pipes, my assistant and I set the pipes into the ground with concrete. We filled the pipes with more concrete for
maximum rigidness.
And inspected thoroughly.
I had built the frames to the gatesoff-site, so they’d be ready to weld into place.
Anacelie stained and sealed the cedar wood planks in a variety of earth tones. We screwed them into the frame, one by one, to achieve a random pattern.
Nearly done!
All we lack is a door handle and dead bolt for
the walk-through gate, and an automatic gate opener for the swing gate.
We celebrated the installation with a striped popsicle. Now my dogs are able to visit without running off. Don’t see the dogs in the above photos? Exactly.
