Earlier this year our fence fell down between our house and the neighbors..NZ removed all 100+ feet of it so he could "do it right" and make one that can weather 40MPH winds. The previous owner of our home thought he was a handy-man, but he was sadly mistaken...and he built a fence with no ground to stand on. Literally. Thanks to NZ and our neighbor ( not the one who lives on the other side fo the fence) this was a 3 day project, and even I stepped it up and helped set the metal posts and pour concrete with NZ one day. Which means, I fulfilled my outdoor duties in the dirt for a good year now. If you've been following my blog over the past year and a half, you know, I am not a fan of dirt.



This weekend he's building a gate, which we didn't have before, so then when we pour concrete for the patio out back, we will also pour down the sideyard all the way to the street so we can utilize some extra driveway space and move our trash cans out to the sideyard instead of the garage.


It's really coming along, and becoming our idea of what our home should be...I feel lucky that I married a man that knows how to do "man things" and does them well. He's no stranger to a hammer and nails and can fix just about anything..It doesn't hurt that he's a real good looker to boot.
