Monday, May 29, 2006 - - Fence

A gorgeous, sunny day. Hey, I thought we moved to the rain forest. This has been probably the driest week of the year in Volcano.

We marked off Bandit's fence with yellow plastic ribbon. In this process we realized that we really did need a machete (wait, gotta put that on the list...okay, done). Those ferns can get pretty dense. Found a few holes in the ground, too. Not the easy way, either, with my food going through some fern debris and sinking a foot or so downward. Building the fence should be a challenge. Very few straight lines (don't want to cut down trees or ferns) and very little level ground (though some of this will be addressed with a pick axe and/or chain saw). After about an hour we had marked off about 1/2 acre of space surrounding all three structures and beginning and ending at the driveway.

The driveway gate is a separate project that we hope to get someone more skilled and talented than us to build.

The rest of the day got absorbed by The DaVinchi Code and walks with Bandit.
