THat’s done. The contract is signed.
Saturday we start taking the fence apart.
And we really, really hope we like the color we picked out.
I plan for us to have a camera during the takedown. And process. It’s too bad we don’t have a camera-person but hey, we’re the crew and camera operators.
We did get all the netting installed. 12.00 for the netting for a 5000 gallon pond. Yay us!
And we’re hoping for pretty good weather during the install. They come out Tuesday next to dig the posts and set them up, and I guess it’s Friday for the actual install. This is a heavy hit in the wallet, but hey, this is part of the house, and it’ll last as long as we do. So we’re real happy. I started out wanting the light color, but Jane has always had eyes very sensitive to glare, and light fence back there would just make it miserable, so we switched to the darkest. And this, like lint on black velvet, will make everything that’s not in apple pie order stand out. It’s not, of course, black: it’s dark brown. Mimics a stone wall. And has insulation in it so it will dull the roar of passing traffic—we hope!
That dark a color will also let you raise tenderer plants, as it will soak up and radiate the heat.
Mmm. Good point.
Ummm, do I recall you said they’re vinyl? Not a good absorber/radiator. One reason it’s good for window frames.
One hopes the household shall be secure in de fence.
(Ow, I think I strained something. Credulity, at least….)
I don’t enby you two the take-down, but I do envy that you get a good new fence out of it all.
I need fence replacement, but with other things a higher priority, it must wait. But it looks awful.
Sufficient unto the day hatve been the troubles thereof. I therefore shall begin reading Peacekeeper, and then get back to Inheritor.
Also, last week, I clicked a few “I’d like to read this on Kindle” links, for the remaining two Chanur’s Endgame novels, and Visible Light, and the Faded Sun trilogy. — And for another mention, the Morgaine novels are newly available via Audible.com, as is Peacemaker.
Finished Peacemaker. It was wonderful! I love how Cajieri is growing up and expect great things of him during his fortunate ninth year. The human kids came off well too, I think. Great Job, CJ! Now I am going to start from the beginning and read the whole series all the way thru. The characters are all friends to me, have been for years.
Off to give it a second read.
Have been thinking about what might have become of the tourist and the bain shea; I wonder if they might be singing, giggling and washing baby clothes together?
Hae ye tried writing it out? From what you’d said before and this comment, I’m curious what you have in mind. Celtic mythology is something I know little about, bain sidhe included. But the idea you presented to Herself and this added bit sure sounded worth a read. Part mystery, part ghost story, part old myth, part urban fantasy. Could be int’restin’.
Definitely better than your typical laundry soap commercial! 😀
“Soap! It will get you clean!”
Maybe I should give it another try. I don’t seem to be able to get the misty quality I want for this story, nor have I figured out to whom the narrator in the frame story is speaking. I may just start in the middle and fill in at both ends. I am a bit long in the tooth to start as a published writer, though.
Really enjoying Protector. Mid-way through the birthday reception, expecting sometime to happen any minute…
