Lay My Hat

Some are good too

I would love to take pics of people's property because so many are SO bad.

What are people prepared to pay for a package of pics for their site?

we have a top gate that is retractable so is always in place. We used to fit the bottom gate when kids were coming, but we now just leave it attached. Most of our guests have dogs,and it helps to reinforce the message that dogs are not welcome upstairs. No-one has complained about this approach. Co...
