Please Fence Me In

Ruby made another escape through the wretched section of the fence today, but happily trotted right into the minivan when Gretchen opened up the door. This all has made getting the fence fixed rather more urgent, so I have selected the vendor that I liked better and he is coming to get the contract signed and collect a deposit tomorrow morning.

We are replacing a large section of fence and repairing the rest. All of the new posts will be steel posts that are designed to be clad with extra boards to cover them up. Supposedly, this will reduce the number of dead posts in the future, which will make future me very happy.

None of this is anything resembling cheap, but I inherited some money from my father's trust last year and this is a really good use for some of it.

The sooner the yard is properly fenced again, the happier I will be.
