It has been a horrible day, my allergies have been kicking in big time. I use to not have allegies, I liked it that way.
So it is just Isaac and me tonight, Rosie went north to go hiking. Her friend Karen has a cabin on one of the islands, so they are staying there over night to get a early start. Isaac and I are hanging out, we had Mexican for dinner, hit the toy store and he is now drinking his milk, chillin to Dora. :-)
So I’m down to just two cross rails on the fence and all of the framework will be done. I’ll order the wood for the panels on Monday.

I got another 2.5 panels done last night on the fence. It seems to take me about 30 minutes to-do one panel, not sure why it takes so long. I part of it is doing the whole thing myself, an extra set of hands would really help.
I’ll probably make zero progress tonight, Isaac has swim lessons.

So I didn’t get near as much done as I’d planned on the fence. Rosie said I was crazy thinking I’d get the whole thing done. Monday was nearly a bust since I had a bunch of clean up to-do and another trip to Home Depot.

I just finished getting all the fence posts in before having to call it a night and put Isaac to bed. By tomorrow the concrete should be setup and I can start putting the railings up and I can call the weekend a sucess. Although at some point I’m going to have to mow tomorrow as well…….

So we are getting close to the end of day two of project fence. I’m tired, sore and my wrist is killing me. But progress has been made. We started on Friday with a very broken fence. By Saturday evening I had removed the old fence.
I then had to start the wonderful process of digging the new fence post holes. I rented an augor from Home Depot, but it was still a butt load of work. Every other hole had roots which had to be dug out and all the fun that comes from that process. It really changed the look of the backyard having the fence gone.
As you can see, by the end of the day I had two posts in and filled with concrete. I’ll take another couple pictures tonight when I’m done, I’m hoping to have the last three posts in before calling it quits for the night. After the first couple posts, I figured out the way to-do them and it goes pretty quick now.

I feel sort of bad, I took a long weekend last week and this week was short and now I’m heading into another long weekend. OK – I don’t feel bad. :-)
Had lunch with Dennis today. Trying to talk him into interviewing for a couple positions open here at Amazon. Even if he doesn’t do it, it was nice to have lunch with him again.
This weekend is going to be all about fence building. The fence across the back of our lot has needed replacing for two years now. I could never get the people we share it with to split the costs or anything, so it didn’t get done. Now part of it is actually falling over and the people have moved out/selling the house. So I’m just going to replace the fence myself. I’ll tear it down tonight and hopefully by Sunday have the framework in place. If it doesn’t get finished, I don’t care because nobody is living in the house.
The only possible problem with my plan is the people back there flipping out, because they are still showing the house. Would it be bad if tons of people wondered through and you had no fence? Don’t know, but they pissed me off and it is coming down. :-)
