Major in the dog house
« on: September 22, 2012, 03:43:59 PM »

I evidently have commited an atrocity... As we were building our house I told my wife I wanted the boiler to be close to the house and also it to be just a few steps off of the drive so I could put down some pavers and never get off of gravel or a walkway.
Let me preface this by saying at our old house I built a dog ear privacy fence on three sides of the boiler and planted flowers all around it. I told her I would do the same here.
I just assumed she knew the boler door would be facing the drive and right by the garage.  I should not have assumed. 
She pulled up last night just as I was finishing up the pad, and wanted me to scratch the year in the concrete before it set up.  I went to the front and started and she said why are you putting it there, no one will see it. I explained, she is not happy at all not even a little bit.
I had to promise to build a gate so no one can see the ugly boiler when they pull up the drive.
I have some concerns about putting anything in front of that door, but I have to..  My only alternative is a jackhammer and that is not happening.
