Karen and I finally finished the last piece of our fence, the gate! Now our lawn is no longer the public access shortcut for kids, and curious pedestrians can no longer peek in to observe our featureless yard. Unfortunately it also prevents the cute bunny rabbit from entering and feeding on the dandelions, and it offers little protection against the curious black kitty who uses our yard as a big litter box.
Not that it was all easy. While we were trying to install the gate, I had to hold fifty different items with my hands, feet, neck, etc. At one point I dropped the drill, and when I grabbed it, it got tangled on my shirt and started drilling!
Pushing it away only made it go faster because I was holding on to the handle, where the accelerate button happened to reside. Somehow by the miracle of God I ended up with only minor scrapes, which appears as a tiny little red dot in the lower-left hand corner of the rip in the picture. Consider it a battle scar to show for this valiant fence-building effort!
Special thanks to Allan and Wes for helping with setting the posts, and Erick for pulling out a huge boulder and hacking away at a root that just wouldn’t go away.
Let’s just hope it holds together…
yay! time to move onto another life threatening home impovement project.
woo hoo! now you can have huge bbq parties! you can even sun tan outside to get rid of the “white” t-shirt… can I come over too? haahaa!
how about a bbq tonight? 😉
yipee 🙂 good job guys! looks great! Urh, that’s a bit scary with the drill thingy. Hope that’s not your FAVORITE shirt 😛
Sorry, looks like it’s too late for bbq today… 😛 actually we still need to put a few things together before we’re ready for a bbq.
