Another Turkeyday has come & gone. Out my window it was pretty nice, all things considered and in the situation that is. Dawn & Bill have really stepped up to keep the "clan thing" going.
I had this space under a fence that had been created many years ago when "old PC" and I were building the fences as used material showed up. The decision was to run the fence at a uniform height regardless of the ground height. I still concur with that decision but the 12-14" opening along about 14' in the back yard allowed the neighbors trash and dirt to be blown directly into ours - that was the problem (to me). My solution back then was to use all the big river rock and other leftover rocks I could find and fill the space. I did and it was fine till a significant number of years passed and that stone pile became a dirt, dust and debris magnet. By the time I removed it the other day the rocks were not visible just dirt and dust AND TRASH. There is now a short lap siding fence below the existing fence. The addition is Redwood bender board and IF I get it's posts actually set into the ground it'll be fine a for a few years. I built it on the open back patio floor - Oh Dear - it's been a LONG time since I got up and down from the floor THAT many times and now two days later I REALLY KNOW I need more activity getting up and down. It's my considered opinion that that is an important part of functioning and likely will remain so as long as I'm around. This is a sermon to myself you realize? Although I will have to wait a few days before I start an exercise to address it.
I'm not really all that proud of the outcome of the fence anyway but as of today it's OK till I come up with another plan. (chuckle)
With the cool damp conditions today I think I'll likely stay busy inside - I certainly have enough minor "STARTED" projects going in there. You know big exciting things like loading up for another Goodwill run and actually deciding about rearranging the dressing room etc. The dressing room is a real challenge as I don't want to make an investment in a chest or anything like that just not have shoes and stuff on the floor every place and the old steamer trunk that has worked both by being a chest & support for the small vanity top is about trash. The drawer are slowly coming apart besides I never liked it anyway. (chuckle)
Today's REAL goal is to minimize the ups & down trip my body has to make yet stay active unfortunately every project I have going means - Yep You Got It - ups & downs. Some emotional, some physical and some a mix of the two. I better stop right there I'm DE-motivating myself. Not a good plan.
