Hi Hap,

->  hn> Since their front "yard" was about 2+ acres...I don't
->  hn> think there was any plastic liner involved. Most of
->  hn> the plants were already there (from what I understand)
->  hn> and they simply augmented the "design" with additonal
->  hn> natives and rain would not likely move most of stones.

-> OK,I'm thinking of a lot of home sites that are in developments. Some
-> friends of ours bought a home in Sierra Vista & did the landscaping
-> themselves They did use the black plastic and probably smaller stone.
-> Every so often, especially after there was  get together at their house,
-> the yards would need raking.  We had a number of gatherings while all
-> our kids were in school together, including a graduation party for
-> Rachel, their son and about 5 of their friends.  That was one time when
-> my crock pot full of beans came home empty and all the others who
-> brought beans took a good amount home.

 hn> Most of the folks we know down there are
 hn> either in a townhouse, trailer park (snowbirds)
 hn> or live out in the "boonies"

We've got friends in all kinds of housing out there as well.  Deborah is
a suburban "home owner" (bank owns most of it); she likes it better than
apaprtment living even tho she still doesn't have a cook stove.

->  hn> expenses, we won't get one till next
->  hn> spring....sniffle!

-> Sigh! None on close out superdeals? Found the reciept for the one we
-> bought at the Fort Huachuca PX in spring of 93--we paid only $7. more
-> for this one and got a better quality.  It has 2 interior burners and
-> one to the side vs the 3 interior ones of the older grill but gives it
-> more flexibilty.

 hn> Mine usually cost around $100 or so and last
 hn> for 4-5 years before I beat them into submission.

The one we got in AZ we got in spring of 1993.  Gave it to Deborah when
we packed out for HI in spring of 2001, not sure how long she kept it.
We used one in HI for 5 1/2 years, wasn't worth cleaning up to bring
back with us.  The one in Savannah lasted a bit over 2 years; I think
the latter 2 weren't as well constructed.  This one has gotten a fair
amount of use in just a few weeks.

Catch you later,
