We are thinking a 3' retaining wall with a grated slope will stop the next drunk driver...
We were also considering the big stones that look like giant bricks or the boulders, but I think the wall and slope will look less obvious yet still pack a punch.
Thank God the tree was there. He would have taken out that front bedroom otherwise. I just never thought a Hyundai would take a tree that sized out of the ground at the roots.
That is sure what I was thinking. :shock:Quote:

But, be careful. Putting something up under the guise of "protection" can come back to haunt you later on as reckless endangerment.
Isn't that crazy?Quote:

THIS is why I always serve when called jury duty.
I think the city should give you a citation for cutting down a tree without a permit, too.
Looks like you need bigger trees :lol:
Yeah, who would have thought a Hyundai could take out a tree that size...
One of our friends has an accident reconsruction business. He did a rough calculation based on the skid marks and estimates the car was going 58mph when he hit the brakes...the speed limit is 30...
Not too sure the driver of the STOLEN car was too worried about the speed limit....Quote:
