This of course cuts down on time spent in the shop - but that's a temporary setback I'll be working around every year. I suppose that must be normal.
We got a permit to erect a fence in our back yard which my wife has been wanting for a while now. It's going to look really nice I think and will provide an area for her to plant some flowers and etc as time goes on. I also have these two huge trees next to the house that need removal, but I'm still waiting on a nice calm Saturday/Sunday to rent a man-lift.
My house is on the windward side of town and we get plenty of wind around Central Illinois. In fact the rake trim on my house was torn off a month ago during the last wind storm, so that's another thing I need to fix when I pick up the man-lift.
Anyway, some pics attached showing the fence install and the wind bracing.
