another day... another dollar... ( and another keyboard) ------late start ---- i never wiped out all teh emails i had to enter yestgerday ---
large excitement the puppy pen is circled... we can take pups there for a runabout.... we will be lifting them over the fence because i have not made a gate yet.. and since the tip[i is not here yet... lyn said she had an "under brella"
teh poles have arrived-- perfectly beautiful bark stripped tapered... strapped 4 to a bundle--- now i have to read... is it 2 coats of polyurethane???
have at it guys..... Nomadics tipis -- i know they give directions-- one of you can give it to me in 25 words or less....
you all know the gladys laubin's book on tipi's is considered the bible of tipi's... so have an earful; while yo are at it... very interesting and sustainable lifestyle
now teh gate details. i did find some right angle things for pip the size of what we have-- and 2 ridgid pipe cutters... so you should see me on camera trying to make gates for teh puppy pen on teh puppy hill camera..
this hex chicken wire covered in black poly somethign is what we have had in the old "V" pen. -- in the pre hen house days-- it is... so far wonderful... strong and you can hardly see it at all.-- so we have put a whilte poly whatever strip on the top.... just for a visual...
part of it's stregnth is.. there is no place for those dane teeth to get started...
i don't know why i shoud spare you the real life of fence making.....
i ordered teh fence and some pieces from deerbsters... and some from farm tek---deerbusters took 11 days for it to leave teh distribution center and farm tek promptly sent it straight away to where i was born... newburgh, ny,,, and then it gets confusing .....
farm tek - figuring the shipment was lost.. sent me a duplicate order. -- by fedex--said we would get it on monday... with strict orders about not signing for teh second delivery..or we would e billed for it...
? second?
--- a box arrived by fedex on wednesday... with part A of teh order--- minus 2 boxable things and the roll of 100' hex wire ---- teh wire arrived thursday...-- does not seem to have a fedex label on the wire... none required a signature....
somewhere out there in the world of automation tehre exists a post pounder, a 2 inch roll of white stuff for a visual the top of the fencing and a full order of everythign else...--if everything gets drooped here not requiring a signature,,, the cost of freight to send it all back is more expensive than putting it all in the someday pile of stuff we eventually will need.
teh shop-- the pale yellow building - is now simply a closet of hardware-- totally unuseable.... and nearly unenterable.... similar to the overflow room in the house with it supply of postit notes and intravenious supplies...
i am desparate for someone to come and sit and re organize teh contents of teh shop... i will need someone familiar with strange hardware. -- a retired handyman , carpenter or plumber would be ideal-
for instance.... i know. at one end there is a lally column which would support the office floor in case too many people come to see the puppies ( has ahppened) the very strange screwy thing which makes teh lift/support possibel is in a pile at teh other end of the shop.----- it is nonsense to think of throwing either away..-- i do know they are there.... this is what takes up so much of my memory- that i can not tell you what day it is or who was teddy rosevelts vice president
i keep thinking. when xxx project is done i must straighten out thatg shop. because teh sdp wage money spent on people trying to find things in tehre is significant...
there is also a significant amount of money spent on people who do not know how to tie teh quick safety knot. and that is reallllllly annoying.
