MWT – Creating a fence


After a very frosty Sunday morning with frozen hose to my RV the afternoon sun warmed enough to work outside.

Mike dug post holes for fence behind the little house to create an enclosure for plants and an exclosure to the javelina and deer.

The posts are some wood Berta and I got for free at a yard sale and the rest, so far, is trimmings off oak on the property.

I held while Mike lashed the pieces on. I love the curves of the wood, and the shadows.

Mike makes awesome wood furniture with two of his brothers and I will post some of that soon.

Fixing the Fence

Gaelyn & Berta building the first fence
You may remember a couple months ago when Berta & I had great fun building a fence out of really cool slab wood.

You may also remember how a big wind blew down the same fence. We really didn’t build it the right way.

Blown down fence
Well, last weekend, Berta and a friend, braved cold weather putting new fence posts in.

They almost finished the job, but the snow drove them inside.

Snowy day
Today the sun came out and they finished the fence.

At least one side. There will be a similar fence on the other side of the driveway.

Feel the Wind Blow

Here in Yarnell last night the wind blew with gusts at 30-35mph, along with heavy rain. The trailer was rocking, curtains billowed, windows whistled, the tarp over the front rattled, and things outside clattered. I figured the garbage can had blown to the next county. Quite a cacophony.

This morning when I finally peek out the curtains to read the thermometer, 34°, this is what I saw…

Berta and I just built that fence about two weeks ago. Guess we’ll have to try again and do it right this time.

Now it’s snowing, but not sticking.
