Its been a busy summer with remodeling and landscaping the front and back yard with some xerascape to combat the hot dry weather, not much time for sign hunting. So in one tiny corner of the new landscape next to the shop I did a little touch of my own, Its a toss-up though the guys dig it and the women...well not so much! Hope everyone had a great summer.

looks good to me but of course what do us men know?

Add a globe to the pump with a light on a timer for "ambiance" for those romantic evenings out back that should "swoo" her and help to change her opinion. wink


Always looking for Frontier and Beeline items.

I agree that you have to light em up with a globe and maybe you need more of them. I started putting them around my pool and i am going to put one about every 12ft. when they are all lit up at night they look amazing.

displaying quart cans may be the biggest battle there is! my wife understands/likes pumps & signs... but she just doesn't see the 'beauty' in cans!

Looks good. Maybe, she'll like it more restored and placed in the house.

haha... an argument I WILL NOT WIN!

its pretty simple... I get the garage/building & my office room, and she gets the rest of the house. although my stuff has been slowly bleeding into other rooms. If I slowly move 1 can at a time into other rooms, maybe she won't notice! ...kind of like the frog in the boiling water theory! lol

When moving your stuff out of the man cave into her domain Bryce , bleeding maybe what you'll be doing! However after meeting her at IG I would say she's into it!
