Atta boy Fred! Get the patio furniture before the patio is built, kinda like we are supposed to get chicks before the coop is built.
At a distance ... like a lot of animals!Ha ha! I like gators...I think they're pretty cool critters but I wouldn't want to be in the water with one...

Well, ya know @Bruce , it is really hard to find the "motivation" to do the "prep work" without "materials on hand".....no need to dig a ditch to drop a drain pipe in for "next year"....

I am no fan of alligators. They have their space, I have mine. We are not near a body of water, I don't need lake front property. I like my sandy dirt, far from any alligator hang out.

Probably a stupid question...are there gators in Texas?

Hmmm... Is it hot and humid in Louisiana in the summer time? Do dogs hate squirrels? Is the Pope Catholic?

We had them in the little ponds in our subdivision outside of Charleston, SC all of the time but most of them were under 6'. We had a good sized lake that was only about a 100' from a river which was full of gators. You can barely see it at the top of the pond (left of center) but this was on the corner by our house (about a 5 footer).

Oh yes! Plenty of them. There is a park several miles from us that has signs Beware of Alligators on the walking trail around the small lake. There are more along the coastal areas, but they are up this far north.Probably a stupid question...are there gators in Texas?

They don't go too awful far into eastern Texas....when there is much more land and much less water they can't survive in the heat....they have spotted them in northern Mississippi....travel up the river...but, they aren't "common" to the area....I imagine they'd be several down Houston way, but I doubt San Antonio sees any.....
