Beautiful, gives me ideas.  I like the treated wood (deck?) with the staple still in the end of the wood, that's the way my deck is to. They are buggers to take out!
I love the smell of saw dust in the morning.

Please don't show any more of those.  If my wife happens to see it I will have to start and that's way too intense for me.   :)
