Oh the Joys of Home Ownership (and cars)

Here is our latest home project. No, James is not doing this one (although he is inspecting it every step of the way). It is covered under our HOA, so a hired guy is fixing it. The windstorm last Sunday night messed our gate/fence up. The main 4x4 post was broken at its base. The wind blew so hard it pushed the gate beyond it's latch and broke the brick off behind it. It should be fixed by tomorrow.

We also have a new car! Just kidding. James was in a minor fender bender last week when his little Yota Rolla got nailed in the behind by a 19 year girl driving a Ford Expedition. Luckily it just banged up his bumper, the insurance covered it, and we have a rental car for a few days (a Pontiac G-something).
