Pics as Promised

The first one is Meg with Grandpa.  He loves to see his grandchildren's sports and has a special place in his heart for track.  He ran in high school.
Ready for the cutest grandson ever!  Here is Korbin with the monkey his Mom crocheted for him. 
A priceless picture!!!!

This is the beginning of the Eagle Project.  This tractor auger was the best thing ever and those plastic rings sped up the process a lot and reduced the amount of shoveling that needed to be done.  Scott dumped the rings and placed them over the next hole to be dug.
After 5 hours on the first Saturday, all the posts were cemented firmly in place.  A little hard to show the whole area as it was 74' X 72'.  Below is one row of posts and if you look closely ahead of Scott you can see posts for the other sides of the fenced areas.

After another 5 hours on the second Saturday this is what we had - 4 fenced sections for the dogs to use.  Scott did have to figure out a way to fill in some open areas on the bottom of the fence - rocks from our house worked very well and they were free.  Some sections of the fence moved pretty easily back and forth, which wouldn't be a problem for most dogs, but all it takes is one to squirm underneath and then there can be real big problems if dogs don't get along.  So, Scott took the 3 & 4' green garden stakes, wove them through the fence fabric and pounded them into the ground.  No dog getting under that fence now.

Below is the picture that was submitted to several local newspapers.  The dog is 'Dot', a very nice and gentle dog.  You can see the tarps we used for shade.  This particular tarp was way too big and did not work well with the wind we have a lot of here.  So, both were removed and replaced with 4 smaller tarps that can easily be taken down if bad weather threatens and put back up when needed.  They were cheaper, too.


Have a great weekend!

Love Ya,   Bren
