More Dogs and Fences

SO this is an example of where Men and Women can be very different. Across the side front yard is a fence the previous owners had put up, its just a wire fence and timbers. It seems that the timbers are rotting away which happens over time. My husband showed me where in two spots it was really bad and they basically were non existent. He mentioned we would have to fix them this weekend otherwise the whole fence might go down- with dogs this might not be the best thing.

So I have an idea of fix, and my husband has an idea of fix. I would have taken the old ones out and probably cemented them in to make it sturdy. He decided we just needed to take the post hole digger- put in a partial timber on the back side and bolt them together in a couple of places. 

I admit this way took about an hour- the way I was thinking probably a few hours, it doesn't look very pretty- its pretty RED NECK if you ask me, but I know for now it will do the job and it didn't really cost any money.

Repairs and Obstacles

Sometimes we have some tough weeks. Seems like this is one of them. The water pump started acting up in the white truck, we never did get the car fixed its a 6+ hour job and Paul has yet to have 6 hours to get it done. So thankfully friends helped with transportation issues this week. So the stairs rotted out again- not sure why this seems to be such a big issue- makes for a huge hazard with the cold nights and frozen walk way. I am praying we can fix it soon.

I came home Tue this week to find that the neighbor had turned the main water off at the street because this pipe burst. It had been on for quite some time because he had standing water in his yard- with acre + lots it tells a lot. Can't imagine what the water bill will be. Luckily my husband got off a little early so he could come and repair it so that we had water by the evening time.
