Fence Epic Continues...
Feb. 25th, 2009 02:53 pmLike all contractors seem to do, the guys got the fence 90% done, and then left.
They said they would be back first thing in the morning to finish it off, but it's almost 3:00 now. The back fence is complete, one side has a 6" gap, and the other an entire panel not installed. 2' gap next to the house and, of course, the wrought iron sections haven't been put in at all.
They changed one side (at the request of that neighbor) from posts-in to posts-out, which made about 6 inches difference as to where the fence is....and I totally forgot to account for that. My lycoris all ended up on the other side of the fence. As they're relatively expensive bulbs, I spent a goodly amount of time this morning digging under the new fence to retrieve them. They're the sort of bulb that hates being replanted, so I'm sure not seeing any blooms from them this summer. I also moved a rosemary bush, and hope the peonies there get the memo about the fence move. We'll see.
Watched some movies related to the plot bunny work today, Phar Lap and Man from Snowy River. Both still good, but they're on VHS. Wow, I've gotten spoiled. VHS is so....blurrryy....particularly really old VHS tapes. Replacements are definitely in order.
