Jumping the shark

[joemcq51]

My wife thinks I am going overboard.....again.

Couple years ago, we did the clay pitching circle area in the back yard. Then came a big net as a back stop. Then we added lights.

Now I have gone ahead and ordered the batting cage net to go over the entire thing. I figured if we already use the area to pitch, why not close it in and have dual purpose practice facility.

So I ordered a 12x12x60 net. I think that is plenty big enough.

Thank god the neighbors are cool.

Next year I am thinking roof, for rainy days.

We have a circle and backstop in our yard too, complete w/ brick dust. No cage but we have enough yard the girls can hit without breaking any windows. Lose a few in the creek once in a while. You are not alone....

I envy your flat yard.

When you put in the pole barn then you will find out your wife has had enough. Mine put her foot down when I put in an indoor area in my basement. Told me no way on the pole barn!

Batting cage outside the polebarn, and inside the polebarn.
I built my wife a room addition with her own bathroom and big walk in closet.

I love you guys.

All I want is a custom bat, a Finch Windmill, and a pitching tunnel.

My husband thinks that he needs to replace the SUV, just because it has 260,000 miles on it. I say "First things first."

Rub it in buddy. You impressed my wife when she noticed how good you are as a builder. Sorry I'm not that good with a saw/hammer!
I just want your boat . It would look good behind my new RV.

I seriously considered buying a house across the street from our main fields with our league's batting cage.

I just sent my wife a link to a real estate listing for a ho hum house. The upside, a shop building big enough for at least two cages! I'm an architect and I would put up with the house to get the private indoor facility.

Sometimes it's the ladies that want the batting cage and the husbands that want the space for other purposes! I jumped the shark a long time ago.
