Hubby and I went to talk to Fred! (to refresh your memory of Fred read here) about the fence, which Fred hates. This year we are water proofing the fence. It’s been a long haul of several weekends but it’s almost done. Today I will finish up while hubby is at work.
We went over as a marital unit to speak to Fred and wife about waterproofing his side of the fence. He poo-pooed this idea of course but did allow that we could enter his backyard to get it done. He believes that bushes are all that’s necessary to keep relations between backyard neighbors happy. He currently has an 11-foot bush butting up against our fence and repeated several times that he would not take the bush down, as if we had asked. If we took down the fence I’d take half that bush down – every bloody leaf that drooped over my property. As it is right now it will push the fence over before too many years – thick branches are already poking through the cracks of the fence. We need the fence to keep the cats in and to maintain some privacy – there’s a cul de sac behind us and 5 yards can look into ours. We don’t care to share that much with our neighbors. It’s not that we don’t like them, but we want our privacy. Hence the term privacy fence.
During the course of the conversation hubby managed to get in every detail of the kitchen remodeling, including the Jenn Air stove with the two electric convection ovens with a gas stovetop that Fred! said we had no business putting in a new fence until we had updated the kitchen. Go Hubby!
I also complimented Fred’s wife on her Christmas cookies, guaranteeing future deliveries I’m pretty sure. GO RECIPROCAL COOKIE DELIVERY!
Now I sound and and act like half the neighbors in America.
This weekend we raked the yard. Sooooo stiff.
