side fence up

Our side fence blew down a few days before Christmas. When Trey went to pick up lumber supplies our "new" used Suburban completely died at the HD (fuel pump + a small hole in the small gas tank.) So Christmas Eve day, Doug (my FIL,) Andrew (my brother) and Trey tried to fix the suburban, gave up, and (sort of) fixed the Tahoe brakes. (They couldn't figure out how to get the auto adjust back on the brakes.) So the day after Christmas Doug and Trey built most of the side fence while I got the Tahoe inspected and licensed. On the 27th Trey and I did another section of the fence before heading off to Padre in the mostly fixed Tahoe. When we got home from Padre Trey went to the library to check Chilton's and fixed the auto adjust on the Tahoe brakes. Then there has been work and the strep incident before the weekend. Yesterday Trey drove to SA to pick up a used but holeless gas tank.

So with all that, there has been a small (but the most difficult) part of the fence that had not been completed. TODAY we finished the fence. It is very pretty. Trey still has to assemble the gate and switch it out with a few pickets but that's it. The dogs are free to move about the backyard.

D was an angel while we fixed the fence - she hauled all the extra scrap lumber pieces around and drafted her plans for building her own church. Trey and I are allowed to help with the music but she is determined that she is the Pastor. D is a little upset that I didn't stop to buy Goldfish crackers for her church nursery this evening. Guess I won't make the nursery committee.
