Building Walls, or Fences...

So we were inspired by the recent change in leadership for the United States, and as Donald Trump was inaugurated last week, we were building our own wall down here close to the southern border. Actually, since the wind never stops here and the soil constantly shifts, our old fence was pretty much a goner and about to tumble over, so we had to tear it down and start from scratch. Thankfully, the boys are here to help carry boards and tools for me, as it's going to take a lot of wood to get this done. The fence is only maybe 50 feet, but that's a lot of pickets and posts when you try to fit it all into a minivan. As of now we're about half done, but progress is going well. The weather has been fantastic of late, so it's made for good work days outside. Better to do it now while it's manageable.
