Fences make good neighbors

walbournLast season we built a fence along the back of the house, and this year we are doing both sides. I hired a crew to come in and tear out the old fence, dig up all the crazy junk in the yard (I think there were the remnants of about 3 fences back there) and take out a bunch of the blackberry and ivy coming in from the neighbors' yards. We having another contractor coming in to post next week, hopefully earlier in the week.
So Memorial Day will be a Fencing & BBQ. It should be a fairly straight-forward fence, and most of the fiddly stuff we will try to take care of during the week (setting the rails). We'll be looking for the help of our Seattle friends to help cut, drill, and screw up a lot of boards. Since both neighbors have dogs, we are keen to get it completed soon.
But this weekend we are on hold waiting for the posts.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cuddlyeconomist is in Houston visiting family and attending a graduation for some students she taught a few years back. Koshka is still hanging in there, although the poor thing can barely walk more than a foot or two before resting.
