Gates

I've built a lot of gates lately. One thing to note is that there is a nice Z shape to a properly made gate. The shape of the Z is important, with the hinges on the correct side of the z! At first I put them on backwards, but I soon noticed that every single gate that I saw had the hinges differently than mine, and I finally looked it up and it IS important to have the hinges on the correct side... so I had to switch them around.
Note where the hinges are in relation to the z.

This is actually a very large pair of gates, so we can drive a car through if necessary.

Here is the stream that runs by our house
