Projects, projects


I can't believe it's been a week and a half since I posted here!  Well, maybe I can because we've been awfully busy.  We started with a fence, arbour and gate project.  You can see Harry's feeling good about what he's accomplished.  Then we had to interrupt ourselves to handle some rental stuff.  Tenants are moving out of our other house and we took the opportunity to do a major garden cleanup, which included the removal of a 40 foot birch tree that was completely overpowering the little back yard area.  That included stump grinding, sifting soil, resetting the rockery and replanting shrubs.   Add to that the regular work, the dogs, the housework, the volunteer organizations and you'll see what's been holding me up.

The move in happens on Saturday so I'm hoping by early next week that we'll be able to proceed with the gate project.

  1. That is one of my most favorite fences and arbor. Be sure to post a photo when it is finished so we can see it.

    cheers, parsnip

    1. Ok, parsnip, I'll do that. It's really going to improve that end of the garden.

  2. You two go from one major project to another - the finished work always looks great! You sound like you need to install a hammock and rest awhile.

    1. You know Barb, I think you're right. We're looking forward to a few weeks of quieter time this summer.

  3. Your wooden arbor looks wonderful!! I love how it interconnects to the fence, and on the top it expands horizontally. Was it made by you guys, or professionals? Either way it looks like you keep good care of it
