Myself, I'm busy with building a fence for the hounds so they have an
outside run area during the day instead of hanging out in the house.
Got pics up at http://www.hildenbrands.com/gallery/dog-run/gallery/ if
anyone is bored.
Currently working on how to build and hang the gates. I've got one gate
done, kicking back and forth the best way to attach its sister to the
right which will be bolted to a brick wall.
Pretty well set on using those plastic punch anchors that expand when
you screw a bolt into them, set into the mortar of the brick to ensure a
strong grip on the bricks with very little chance of brick fracture.
So what about you all? Anything fun? |

ooh. fancy. my dogs just have electric fence... no, not that
stupid invisible stuff, just electric fence set at 1', 2', &
4'. that pretty much discourages the chickens from going into
the dog's areas & keeps the dogs where they belong.
i used to let them run in the pasture, but i got a pair of
nanny goats & they beat the snot out of my Malamute (he's very
non-dominant), so he has his own yard now. sometimes my Great
Pyr/Border Collie cross goes out with him, but they don't
really like each other much (the GP/BC is older & the Mal is
too active for his taste). the goats don't bother the GP/BC
for some reason.
my current project is brushing out the llamas before it gets
too wintery. Juni was easy, only 2 hours, but she's all short
hairs. i spent 3 hours on Sally yesterday & she still has some
mats in her undercoat. i let her go after 3 hours though. i
didn't really want to try her (seemingly infinite) patience.
llamas don't like much handling.
today is Russian's turn. he's dumb as a rock & a horrible
mess. he's been rolling in pine, so he's probably all pitch &
sticks

Cleaning up the gardens, planting garlic (finally!), and I've got
tulips to get into the ground. Other than that I've busied myself in
the house organizing things, they do tend to get out of control over
the gardening season
Nice dog run! I'll be busy getting a chicken coop up for next spring,
that's the big project for this fall.
