Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Heh...
Whatcha sippin'?
So how did potatoes factor into 24?
ecurbh and I are sitting and setting your priorities for the place, and what we need to do to get you feeling secure and home there...
I think in addition to cleaning, a first priority will be a workable perimeter fence with a gate. I highly recommend compound living :~D
I even have an extra fence charger, we can do field fence with a hot wire on top of it. :~D
But Rosie is a hobbit... it was bowling ball size to a hobbit.
But to a hobbit...it's sized like a bowling ball.
GMTA :~D
The live thread has nicknamed his character "Rudy", by the way.
Just some Diet Dr Pepper... will add some bourbon to the next round. :)
I'm sure they did :~D
I very much like that idea. It'd be a lot of work, but it sure would make me feel better about the place, being alone and all. Not to mention it *could* pave the way (maybe) for other pets (maybe) someday. Which would also help with feeling secure, though of course that's not a sole reason for havin' 'em...
Fencing is another thing where it'd be awfully nice if the landlord would be willing to help with expenses. But I wonder what his limitations are, just practically speaking.
Heh...the perils of posting without getting caught up!
We'll probably rent one of these to make it a one-weekend project.
I don't know if he'd see the value in it to him, I'd focus on basics.... but putting up a basic field fence would not be all that expensive and ecurbh and I know how to do it. It can be done if phases too... first the two sides that are exposed to the store and road, and then later the rest. Field fence is $100 or so for 330 feet.. just add posts and a gate.
Hmmmm...
That wouldn't be too bad, then! Would you just use that wire stuff that comes in rolls? Rabbit wire type stuff? Like I used for the dogs? I can't remember if I ever posted pictures of it. We didn't exactly do a great job, but it wasn't horribly expensive, I don't think.
Ooh...power post hole digger?
That could be fun. I've dug post holes by hand before...would rather not repeat the experience, and I only hadda do four or so.
