Fence Building

I know that it has been awhile since my last blog. We have been busy getting through weekends (golfing) and visiting and now have finally started on re-building the fence. What a job! With the weather being as hot as it has been, we are trying to only go out when the temp. is under 30. I think that Jack got a bit of heat stroke on Sunday and so we only managed to get 1 section done. But on Saturday we worked for 8 hours taking down the old boards; hammering out the old nails or screws and then cutting and reattaching the new boards. Now I know why people measure twice and cut once! Before I started our job on Saturday, Jack gave me my very own tool belt with a hammer (which hangs from the pocket on the tool belt). Plus I had real leather work gloves that fit me, so no wood splinters in these hands. I also got lessons on how to use the 18v drill for the screws...slow and steady! I think I can now go into construction work (lol), but I won't give up my day job!
Summer is almost 1/2 over and things are hectic. We have seen no relatives and probably won't until the wedding in Squamish. This will be a busy time with having to help Jack for the ceremony plus make the food for the dinner. But should be a great time.
My kids are busy working lots so I have only seen Nicole. Ryan has been working lots of night shifts and some days so we hope to hook up for lunch tomorrow. Breanne is busy with her job and some clients coming to the apartment for various nail applications..so she is enjoying her career. Jack's son Todd was supposed to come out for a visit with Michelle & Ireland but we haven't seen them. Jack's other son Darin, Donna and granddaughter's should be out in August for a visit as well. We were over at Jaelyn's place to see the youngest granddaughter Lacey, on her 2nd birthday. They just returned from a couple of weeks in Saskatoon.
So I will try and attach the picture once we figure it out. Take care and enjoy the rest of summer, I know we will once the fence is down, up and stained...not too much more to do!
