Lizzy's back from the car doc (Mel's Auto in San Marcos. Recommended) with all kinds of new running gear, brakes, tires etc. to make sure she's safe to drive, since she's nearly as old as the driver. Well, not really...
She's tucked away in her new "pole barn" carport, protected from the rain that's supposed to hit us for Christmas.
The gap to the ground is intentional, to avoid dark corners. There will also be a light inside all night, to help in the ongoing battle with mice who love to build nests and chew on things, like $1100 worth of wiring when I first got my truck.

| The carport started with some pressure treated poles, which got another dose of wood preservative before being set in concrete. |
 |
| The poles actually sit on gravel and are surrounded by concrete. The gravel allows any moisture that gets into the pole to drain out the bottom, to help avoid rot. |
