Work continues on the long fence between us and our neighbor. Because of the summer heat Jay & Matt are doing only a couple posts at a sitting to ensure there is enough time to carve in the intricate woodgrain details. They are able to do two batches (Four posts) in one day and still have some spare time for applying the lath. Stay tuned to watch it come together…
On to the wire
Our crew has completed welding of the fence structure and pencil rod armature. They’ve also finished sculpting about 75 feet of the boards. Now they are on to tying the diamond lath to the balance of the length. I paced it out tonight, and there is just over 200 feet of fence in all. They’ve rigged the temporary, movable shelter over the fence to provide some relief from the hot sun. It is a big project, but our yard will look a whole lot neater when we are complete. Stay tuned…
Cool dino
Harmless practical jokes are common in our shop, and the crew get pretty inventive in their efforts. When I was in Nebraska, Jay decided one of my dino signs needed some pupils in its eyes. He pasted on two tape circles and placed them at a wonky angle. It made me laugh when I walked into the shop when I got back from Nebraska. This weekend, I went back into the shop to get my bike for an adventure along the river. The little dino was now sporting some dark safety glasses. Once again I had to laugh at our crew’s hijinks.
