Building fences

I had a week off over Christmas as my employer had a mandatory shutdown between Christmas and the New Year.  But did I just sit back and relax?  No.

Being the industrious person that I am, I helped my neighbour build a new fence between our properties.  Two and a half days in heatwave conditions constructing a new fence.

We ship-lapped the palings (ie attached 2 palings and then a third over the top covering the join, and screwed each covering paling with 6 screws.  So hopefully the fence will stay in good condition for the next 20 years.  A much better job than our other fences done by professional fencing companies - in my opinion.

So now our dogs don't threaten and bark at each other through the fence because they can't see through it.

It was also worth it to stop Karyn complaining that I was just sitting around the house doing nothing.  She didn't complain for the whole following week!
