Yes I'm still alive, just haven't posted in 3+ months. Why? Well, I started a new career, and it's summer in ATX, and I have spent most moments at home just sleeping, traveling or doing some reading. In the last few months I have read a Gladwell (What the Dog Saw), a modern Christian ethics book (A Generous Orthodoxy), a book about the history of Maine lobster fisherman (The Lobster Coast), and I just started "Call of the Wild" and "White Fang"..... I know, I'm all over the place. Blake has been living with us this summer which has been a blast. And he has turned the garage into his art studio, so next time any of you are by the house we will have several new paintings on the walls. I have also been doing a ton of home projects. Linz and I finally have a total "vision" on the house, and hopefully we will start pulling it all together soon. So below are a few pics of the latest job, the fence. Oh first you need to understand that re-doing the fence was necessary after Abby made The Great Puppy Escape of 2011 by pushing through a rotten board while we were in the Caymans and ran through the neighborhood like a wild banshee until the neighbors all helped corral her. Ok, so here are the pics.
First the inspiration.
Then the Nick of the Day.
Then the Before
(actually the neighbors fence, I didn't take a before of mine, but it looked the same)
The During
The Finish
Well, I think it turned out pretty good. I guess the only way to know if it will work is to turn the dog loose and see how long it takes her to get out. Oh well. Best wishes. Thanks for the read.
