red tag
I bought a shipping container and the simple task of having a crane move it from the front yard to the backyard turned into a catastrophe.
We HAD a beautiful lawn with an underground sprinkler system and within an afternoon it was all but ruined.
The worst part was Mr red tag was away on a fishing trip and didn't know about any of it.
I consumed more than one glass of Southern Comfort that evening and pondered the dilemma of the day. The next morning I woke and glanced out the window in the hope it was all a bad dream - it wasn't!
Thanks for ache Oldsaint.
