All the truly great builders and artists are great not only because of their obsession in the details but in the quality of the build. Da Vinci, comes to mind when I look at this marvel, this addition to the Huff's yard. Well done sir. I love the idea of our work having longevity.

I agree in taking time and working on the details to create something with longevity. It is hard sometimes not to rush things, but when you take time the end result is much more rewarding. But the opposite is also funny as seen at http://thereifixedit.com/. You fence looks real nice. I agree in taking time and working on the details to create something with longevity.

I remember building a fence with my brother-in-law. He's one of those obsessive, driven people who doesn't know when to stop. Because of that he put a post 10 feet off rather than 8 while it was only 4 feet from the end of the yard. We had to dig it out, dig another hole, and redo a length of fence. In my job, I know my designers hate me art directing, but if I don't step in and tell them it's time to stop, they'll keep poking at it trying to get that elusive 2% perfect, even when that 2% is subjective and the work is amazing no matter what they do with that last bit...
