A Fence At the Fence




Hello Neighbors!

Well, we managed to finish fencing in part of our yard.  The backyard was previously fenced in with a wire farm fence.  Then we had to add additional fence to the left side of our yard because the neighbor's dog decided our yard was more fun than his. It wouldn't have been to bad, except he was a full grown puppy, that liked to chew.  And I am talking he would chew anything.  That is how we lost our grill cover.  So the fence on the left side of our home ended up being two layers of farm fence that was about 6-6 1/2 foot high.  Needless to say, he finally stopped visiting.  Then we decided we wanted privacy fence, both to keep our dogs in, others out and so we could enjoy being outside without people watching us when we were outside.  (Fence san jose), I don't think so.  We did it ourselves.




My two sons started near our shed on the right hand side and worked their way back to the corner.  We added a gate at the corner for easy access.  Then we started in the right hand corner and headed over towards Brutus' yard.   He is the dog who liked to visit.  We reached the corner right before the freezing weather blew in.  We did attach one panel so it could be removed when we need to bring materials in when we do large projects outback.  Now we will have to wait for spring to finish up the side of the yard to the rear corner of the house.  This will enclose the entire backyard, shed and deck.  I LOVE IT!  I will be able to go out back, turn the dogs loose and enjoy the deck without any worries.  Shadow, our smallest dog still can not be turned loose, because she slips through the farm fence.  So, until spring she is on a long leash, under constant supervision or she is in the kennel run we have.  The Shelties on the other hand can still enjoy their freedom, but it will be great to get it done.





What will we start next?  Who knows.  Tell me what you think!

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
