The Neighbors Fence-The End (almost)

 


The neighbor's fence is finished and has been since June 12th, I took photos and forgot to post them until a blog friend asked about the fence. We have put all repair ($$$$) on hold until we find out if the meds will help Bob. 


Our yard waste goes in the blue bin, the big stick is one of two Sea-grape sticks I saved for walking sticks, after hurricane Milton. 

That stick is perfect to hold on to while bending over picking up sticks, I can brace myself and pick up about 6 sticks at one bend over and not fall on my head.

The schefflera tree is the one just to the left of the blue bin. the entire stick of leaves drops, and the leaves come off. Bob has always just mulched the sticks and leaves and no need to pick them up. 
Once, my neighbor Willie saw me picking up sticks and said Whatcha doing over there, DieHard.
the new name he gave me after hurricane clean up





When the young men who installed the fence, built this barricade, with a gate they took down from the neighbors yard and they left a half section of our leaning rotten fence, because if it is moved, there is a hole just the right size for a big fat nosy dog to dive through.
Baby Girl, now an angel, was the most stubborn dog on the planet




Dan will remove the gate and our fence and patch the hole, next time he comes to work


our old fence, had wire all the way across to keep Angel Baby Girl from digging under the fence. She is angel now but was not when on this earth. I took the photos to show there is 2 feet between our fence line and the neighbors.


I filled the space between the strangler fig tree, with debris until Dan comes, I don't want Beau on the other side of it until the hole is fixed. the space you see is not an outlet, there is a chain-link fence there, our fence. Moving debris is how I met the granddaddy long legs that climbed my arm.

The fence looks very smart.
Living a 'just in case' life is not very relaxing, but I understand your caution in not spending too much. Hopefully, you will get your just rewards.

What a beautiful fence! Hooray! And hopefully once your son comes to finish the clean up job, everything will be just right and you can relax and not worry about Beau getting out. And yes, I understand about putting things on hold regarding waiting for health issues to either be resolved or figure out the next step. We are kind of in a similar situation now, although not to the extreme you are. But still, when there are issues that you really don't know what the outcome/prognosis, etc. will be, you just don't make any new plans. We are in a holding pattern for now, but next week we meet with the specialist and then hopefully we will get some answers. I am happy to see that progress is being made in your home/yard/life. One day at a time...God is working on it!!

The fence is looking good. I'm glad that Dan will be coming to do the finishing touches on your side. I would love to have a fence around my yard but it's not in the budget.

The new fence looks great! Baby girl was a beautiful girl. We had a naughty pup that dug under things too. It wasn't fun then, but the memories make me smile now.

Hello,
The neighbors new fence looks nice. We have a chained link fence that keep our Miney in the yard, one day she managed to jump off the deck onto the driveway to chase the Peacock. After that we needed to put her on a long lead when we let her outside. She can not be trusted. I am glad Dan will be coming over to do some work for you. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
