The carport will never look like this again.  Our shipment finally came - two containers - and the house and carport are stuffed full.

I hope no one steals anything. We don't have doors on the carport, though I don't know how we'd ever know if something was taken. Too much stuff.

Yes, BG did ship rocks here. These aren't fabulous specimens, but rocks his rock-hound dad found in Central America when they were stationed there. These rocks have been moved all over. We have lots of jasper from Chame, Panama.

The moving guys joked that it was all da kine stuff BG brought that caused the earthquake!
