the Fenc'n is Commenc'n

Pretty soon here, our new backyard will be all fenced in and Finch will be able to roam free. It seems the fence will also be serving to keep deer out of the yard too (I found deer 'evidence' in two places) Recently, Kevin and Ian saw a big 'ole turkey just outside the downstairs windows - this will be a HUGE change for Finch who has lived in the city all his 5, almost 6, years. I don't think he understands that this is his new yard yet..
We are installing a chain link fence for one side of the yard and wire fencing on the other for the 25ft stretch that is all trees and lilac bushes anyway. There is NO way to get a chain link fence in there or to have it look nice - so this 4ft tall wire fencing will do the trick, and we won't really be able to even see it. So that works...well we'll see today I guess...

ta da!!

see the green wire fencing? No? That's the plan... 

okay: here's an closer look at the wire fencing where it connects to the side deck.

Also commenc'n: Painting the kitchen walls!
We wanted to get the kitchen walls all painted before countertops are installed this coming Wednesday. So my mom and I are taking it on: There really isn't that much to paint, so should take no time at all. Much like the previous painting experiences I've had with my mom, I'll be in charge of cutting in around all the edges and she will do the rolling.
- Paint = check! Behr brand paint from Home Depot, but "Rice Paddy" = color from Sherwin Williams (a light yellowish-green)
- Brushes, Roller, Paint Tray, ladder = check!
- Paint clothes = check!
- Kitchen Floor Tiled = check!


We have all of the new drawers put together, and are working on door hinge hardware today in between coats of paint - starting to get antsy for all the doors, drawers, countertops and appliances to be installed!
