Thursday has unexpectedly turned into a good day.
The sun was out and the temperature was quite reasonable. So, it was with a fresh spring in my step that I tackled the dreaded fence once again.
The post went in - no problem.
The main cross-spars were duly screwed in place. Yes screwed - with non-rust screws so that I could dismantle parts if necessary and replace when the wood goes rotten (now that's forward planning not normally associated with Mac!).
Time is now getting on but I consider all the options and then decided that it would be a good idea to screw the feather edge boards instead of using nails for the same reason as above. Off I go to purchase non-rust screws of the correct size.
Then . . .
Just as I got back the heavens opened.
Really.
Heavy rain, a few flashes of lightning and rolls of thunder.
I thought it would pass over - as many sudden thunderstorms do. But no, it just turned into incessant heavy rain.
Oh well, tomorrow we go to Birmingham to watch Offspring Senior's final recital and bring him home so I'll just have to finish the fence on Saturday.
I'll be bloody glad when it's finished. I'll probably post a photo of it in this blog and you will all wonder what all the fuss was about.
