summer project



What should we do with all that extra money we got back to stimulate the economy?... hmmmm, let's commit ourselves to a huge summer project and build a fence.

The first pic is the wood I had to unload. Yes, me. Not that I can't do it. I can, and did. My problem was, I took the day off to clean house, get ready for family coming over to Sam's party, and ended up going to the lumberyard and coming home to unload 90 fence posts before I could actually drive the truck anywhere around town I needed to go. I wouldn't have, except they stuck about 3 feet out of the tailgate.

The second pic is how much of the fence marc has gotten done in a week. Or should I say, how much of the fence marc has gotten done before he hit the sprinkler line, cracking a leak.

The third pic is how much more of the yard we have left to do. No need to further explain that one. This will take us all summer.

The last pic is my poor puppies thinking they can't wait until we finish the fence so they can get out of their cramped dog pen. (And for any of you thinking, how will a split-rail fence keep dogs in the yard? We're actually going to put a wire fence tacked to the inside of it.) And keeping up with our inner-hillbilly... yes that's a blue tarp doubling for a roof on the dog pen.
