(OT) Owch - hurts to move.
Spent the day putting up fencing (wood privacy type, and not the
pre-assembled panels, but one-slat/picket at a time) in the back yard (room for Annie, the D-pet to run, sine she's part whippet), and now muscles I didn't even know I had are hurting.... and I have to do the same tomorrow. Ugh. -- ^..^ This is Kitty.

A hot soaking bath and a glass of nice wine could help.

it that tea is the least of it. "Magic Mood Jeep ©" wrote in message ... Granby wrote: A hot soaking bath and a glass of nice wine could help. "Magic Mood Jeep ©" wrote in message ...

yes but sweet pea not as much as they put in it here. You would have to
taste it to understand. Sort of like a rum and coke with an eye dropper of rum. "Will in New Haven" wrote in message ...

IMO you were wise not to use the fence panels. We didn't have very good luck with them. They didn't last nearly as long as our neighbors single-plank fence. Sherry |

IMO you were wise not to use the fence panels. We didn't have very good luck with them. They didn't last nearly as long as our neighbors single-plank fence. Sherry That, and the fact that there isn't a level spot on our yard, so we would get massive amounts of that 'stepped' look if we used pre- assembled panels (including major gaps at the bottom that Annie would have no problem squeezing out through), now the fence will have a 'contoured' look, and follow the slope of the land. And we're using stainless steel deck screws to hold it together, not nails, so it will withstand higher winds - and it's not really a privacy fence, as we are spacing the pickets so that there's room for one whole picket between them... just enough space for Annie to stick her nose through, and the native bun-buns to hop through so we can watch them in the yard. One problem though, on the southwest corner of the property, the guy we were paying to dig the post holes found some rather large slabs of limestone. A total of 16 feet, all of it 3 - 4 inches thick, about 2-2.5 feet wide, and the longest about 5 feet long. All of it under 6 inches of dirt. It was like a sidewalk. Going from nowhere to nowhere (our house was built in 1925, and behind us (when we bought the place) was a hay field - now there is a housing addition, and we know that sometime before our current abode was built, there was a building that burned, as whenever we dig for a garden, we find 'charcoal' and other bits of burned debris). And they were right were the fence was going to be. So they had to come out. Since they weighed between 300 - 500 pounds each, this was not an easy task. The riding lawnmower, our ol' two wheeled 'hand cart' (of the kind UPS will use when delivering a stack of boxes), some tie-down straps and some major prying, pulling and dragging, got them to another section of our property, where they will be used as an actual sidewalk. Hard part was that the riding mower kept losing it's grip on the ground, so now we have lots of torn up places in the yard where the tires kept spinning, even though all three of us were piled up on it to try to get it some traction (that's about 600 pounds right there, me being about 140, DH being about 160, and the helper being about 200+). Now we have to fill in the holes where those slabs were so that it will be even with the surrounding ground as even as the rest of the yard is NOT, that will be easy ) One of the slabs had a pointed end (looks like the corners were broken off) looked almost like a tombstone that got knocked over... that one is now standing upright over Smokey's burial plot, with a flower garden surrounding it. Most expensive dog ever! -- ^..^ This is Kitty.

Some tracked in kitty litter, two twist ties and a drinking straw (i.e. cat toys - a couple of cats have discovered that toys can't "escape" if played with in the tub)... that's the least of it. Yes, the tub does get cleaned out, but not when I'm aching from moving a couple tons of rock and drilling 300+ pickets to the rails. -- ^..^ This is Kitty.
