The fence looks great. I wonder if it would work on keeping coyotes out?

Doubtful, it's made from PVC and plastic deer netting; doing the whole yard cost me about $300 in 2006. It's been repaired in spots over the years but it's still in place and still working. Pretty good at 9 years old.

Actually I like that facility a lot. Did something like that too.
I have a cat(Aussie) that adores me (undeservedly). When we lived in a mobile, the 'Arizona room' was a full length awning which I fully chicken-wired and let vines grow into the wire wall. No stray cats/dogs in and ongoing access to foolish Finch's and Lizards.
The cat LOVED that place. My wife didn't prefer the daily 'cat gifts' (played out captures). eek!

We had a kamikaze mouse try to make it through, needless to say it didn't stand a chance and the birds at total teasers; they will sit in the trees and taut them for hours; when the cats climb up to get them, the birds go to smaller branches, until "snap" down goes cat.
The design is mine, I got the idea from the zoo. The fence is 6' so with retainer 7'8" and a cat can't jump straight up and over; they have to go up against something solid. Outside in, cats want to jump straight down, not up, out then down. The deer netting has give and the cats hate that; they won't walk on it. Hurts the paws too. The gates were the hardest part to do.

You mentioned the announcement; I wonder it that's the "invitation only event" on twitter the John Painter was telling us about for today. Hmmmm

$1,000,000 to go and 8 days to get there .... what are the odds ?

As you know, pretty good at this point. If the current 6312 simply upped their placements just $150, then it's there!
A $125k daily quota, seems doable with just new reservations.

We'll see how today rolls. If the 'daily quota' goes down in 24hours we're getting there early.

Only after he takes a really smelly one. Talking about it the whole time.
His back yard is 55x60 and I have it so no one can get out, and except on a rare occasion, no one can get in.
Here's the retainer I came up with View attachment 6231
Works very well.

Love the retaining wall. My wife's white and brown long haired dachshund would dispose of that smelly one. Don't let that dog kiss you.

New article on the 21st related to EMCF ( Elio Motors Crowd Funding :-) )

http://icrowdnewswire.com/2015/07/21/elio-motors-equity-crowdfunding/

And then I found this, ?CrunchBase?

https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/elio-motors

Their own definition:
CrunchBase is the world's most comprehensive dataset of startup activity and it's accessible to everyone. Founded in 2007 by Mike Arrington, CrunchBase began as a simple crowd sourced database to track startups covered on TechCrunch.

The crowd funding the last few days seems to hit the range of 5k to 20k an hour during the 16 most active hours. But this all varies.
At 5k/hr we get 12.5 days, at 20k, we get about 3days. Maybe 8 seems right on target.
