RE: just checking

Daryl,
	The new design I am talking about for an entrance arch is actually
pretty basic in concept and material. Only material out of the ordinary
would be the cedar shakes. I would probably end up going to Home Depot or
Lowes to purchase the materials myself once the carpenter and I agree on
what is needed for the job. Nothing like the $2,500 moongate I received an
estimate on. But, it had benches built in and lots of other features the new
arch will not have. 
	Right now I need to purchase a load of hardwood mulch to mulch the
areas where I have removed the weeds and overabundance of plants, so I do
not have to go back and weed again (at least remainder of this year)

An entrance arch sounds lovely. Poetic, too - entrance to a new life.

I don't know whether you have a Lowes or other store with a large lumber 
section, but an acquaintance found a design that she liked, took pictures 
and measurements of it, and brought it to Lowe's. She went a couple of times

and found an old guy that was really into carpentry.
They were able to find all the pieces that she needed with just a little 
custom cutting. I don't know whether that would work for you, but it would 
certainly be less than $2500.
