And I think you mean "saybach" like "maybach", because "sawbach" sounds like "mawbach." Right?Awesome dogs though, seriously... What's Dog? Retriever/Collie-ish? He looks like a combo of 2 of mine, who are both purebred mutts. Link to post Share on other sites

Right?Awesome dogs though, seriously... What's Dog? Retriever/Collie-ish? He looks like a combo of 2 of mine, who are both purebred mutts.lol, yes I did name my dog "dog". I couldn't think of a name and since my grandfather grew up in Russia he said why don't you name it Sabak. I liked it and ran with it. It's funny because when I'm at the park or something people always think I'm calling him "Starbuck".And, my analogy of "sawbach" sounds like "maybach" is the maybach car reference. The Maybach car is pronounced "Mawbach" but spelled Maybach. I just wanted you to know that it's not pronounced "sayback".He is a retriever/lab mix. Great personality, and very loyal.

vonteego3 0 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I thought it was pronounced as spelled, Maybach, or "Mawbach" if you have a speech impediment. I don't know, which is probably why I drive a Nissan. Link to post Share on other sites

El Guapo 10 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Everything looks great that you redid. Two comments, I cannot believe you spent all that time and money and put in a electric range, unless you don't have gas at your home.Windows look great from the outside, but the white rot iron fence and rail work are still dating all the work you have done, I would look into fixing that, but new rot iron can be espnsive.
