Don't know if there are any of the greens plants here or not. I'll have to find some good pictures of the ones mentioned and see if I can find any. There are a few mesquites here on the property and I may plant more. There are plenty of Yucca, prickly pear and some strawberry cactus though.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-63037220463526321202011-04-02T10:00:37.054-05:002011-04-02T10:00:37.054-05:00David - check out this site:

I just don't really want want to mess with them otherwise, but if they show up around here I might change my mind.<br /><br />Jen, Most of the lumber that was used in the first dungeon has gone to other projects. I'll probably add shelves out of other stuff though.

I love the birds eye view from atop the lil house. Often times late evenings I climb to the roof of the lil house and just sit there and watch the world go by. I dont care fer danged javelinas. The state is overpopulated with 'em and feral hogs. I always find pig roadkill. But if you had to, you can eat javies in a pinch.

It was my plan to build one big enough to live in, but I found out my credit was good enough to buy a mobile home so I ended up doing that. I don't have a clue what ever happened to the plates. I was going to cover the one I started with plywood, but found that would have been a nightmare. I guess if planks were used like in the picture it wouldn't have been too bad.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-87130218799564649152011-04-01T11:36:39.330-05:002011-04-01T11:36:39.330-05:00tffn, I bet it won't take long to get that tan...tffn, I bet it won't take long to get that tank in shape.
