How absolutely brilliant!!! And this is being done in Kenya?? What is our delay in doing this is the good ol' USA?

Doing well, thanks! Now that our fencing is all new (with loads of help from the son), we can start some serious landscaping. Maybe I can find these bricks at Home Depot???

I have a blanket from a company called Copotaxi that is made from recycled plastic. Super light, warm, and compact. I think alot of their stuff is made that way.
