About 3 weeks ago, Dallas had some gigantic wind gusts. Like 50 mph. On that day, the power went out at week and remained out for the entire
afternoon, so we were all sent home. I came home and was able to get a lot of housework accomplished that I wouldn't normally. Wonderful feeling, but the sad part was the beginning of our fence saga. So the winds had just about knocked the fence over, but there was a tall stack of fence panels (waiting to be made into a fence) that was keeping the fence propped up. So a few weeks pass.... lots of things in between, mostly work. (We're closing the year at Dave & Buster's.) Last Thursday, Valentine's Day, Zach took Bailey to the vet and then came home to an ordeal. The fence (16ft) had fallen down. The post was literally snapped at the base and would no longer hold, so he fixes it the best he can and goes to class. He came home from class and it was down again. The fix didn't do too much. So for about 3 days we lived like we were back in the apartment. I say that because we had to start taking Bailey out on a leash. Big pain! So, this past weekend, my dad and Zach got to work and mended the fence. Now we can let the little one out in her backyard, but what I can't wait for is when our fence looks something like this....
Ok, so maybe not that fancy, but it will be pretty and it was stand up to all sorts of weather. That's the next project on the list. Hopefully sometime this Spring before it gets to hot outside.
