Fences

Daddy's home!


The first panel goes up! Rotten decaying disfunctional fence in background.

Daddy's little helper.
Just the gate left to go!
The fence is almost complete. Jhonny and Lily worked on it yesterday and we are down to the gate which should get done today with any luck.
We are only a little annoyed that the neighbor didn't take care of it herself since it's her dogs that are destroying our yard. At some point (8 months, multiple complaints, and pressed charges resulting in a court date and a ticket for her that have done nothing to fix the fence nor compensate our losses later) you just give up and do it yourself.
I'm happy to get my yard back. Jhonny is happy to not have to look at the decaying ugly fence on the other side. Lily was happy to have her daddy home. She was by his side the whole morning covered in dirt from head to toe and LOVING it (especially since she was under the protection and watchful eye of her daddy who is not afraid to run the dogs off like her mommy). Jessica came home from school and took her place while she napped. I'd say this is one fence that is making us truly a "Happy Family."

Yeah, it is a pretty nice trait in my man. My house looks pretty good with him around. Hope you have as much luck in your Mr. Right.
