Friday's finish

By now we've worked hard all week, and we're starting to get pretty tired. But we are so close now! With the cars gone, Rick rebuilt the fence. We still have to finish the gate, but we have the sides up at least, and now it's lockable. We moved the lock to that gate.



On Thursday, Rick got the stringers up, and on Friday he bought and put on the boards.



I burned again on Thursday, and we pretty much filled RickC's truck to the brim for another airport run. The yard is almost completely cleared now, and Rick walks like an Egyptian to prove it.



Catherine shows off her art:



And Bill is once again triumphant in his fight against all that is privet in the world.



Fortunately, we also spend time doing what we do best:



We knocked off early and went back to our house for chicken, potato salad, and fresh focaccia-style bread. Tomorrow is croquet, so we'll take that day off too, and maybe feel like planting by Sunday.
