What did you accomplish today?

Mark it on the calendar, made a road trip to HD to pick up some wood for the fence BEFORE 10 AM. Ace in town was out of posts, go figure. The panel behind the patio is a priority, I don't want wind driven rain pouring in there. It's a drizzly 46 degrees out there, I need new work gloves. I'll see about at least getting the cross boards in today.

Just before the new metal roof was installed, note the nice gutters and happy plants in the background.
That's a damn nice looking place to live. That's where I want to live. I'm jealous. One of these days I'm going to sell and buy some property in the Rogue River area of Oregon and call it a day. I'm not going to spend the rest of my life dealing with all the nonsense here in Portland.

Deconstructing some fence panels is on the menu today, possibly digging a new post hole. Only have 2 to dig and replace. Better than the last time when the whole fence blew down. Cedar is not the best wood to use for posts, but I had a connection to get them really cheap at the time.
Mostly cloudy and 42 degrees this morning, supposed to get into the low 50's. Mornin.

Good morning, we were 30 degrees when I got up the nerve to look. I need to get my running shoes on and drag the dogs! Then I need to pull my other brake calipers.

Some years back a part of my fence blew down. I replaced all the wooden posts that broke with the metal postmaster posts. They cost around $30 a piece but I'll never have to replace them.

This isn't my fence just a picture I found online. I'm too lazy to go out in the rain and take a picture.
