Thought you would like to know.
We have the six foot side section up! The ten foot section will go across the back...there behind the potting bench.
This work is hard. Poppy does the hammering, sawing, drilling , etc., but I run my legs off, going for things he needs.
At one point I had been around the house and down near the pond to our stash of old boards and building supplies, looking for one more 4 x 4 post, which I found. Sweating, and lugging the heavy post up to the building site, I said to Poppy...
"I know one thing! Being the gopher is just about as much work as being the builder"! Poppy said, "yes, but if it wasn't for the gopher, we wouldn't be doing all this"! :)
Hopefully, tomorrow we will get the back section up and the playhouse will be done! I can move in! :)
Thank you for visiting and for all your encouraging words.
Love,
Henny
Old sweet Eli still has his white eye lashes.

Sweet Eli. I know you and Poppy will rest soundly tonight. It is looking great!
ReplyDeleteOh geesh...can he get any cuter? So you are building a potting shed/play-house?
ReplyDeleteHe's so cute sleeping like that
ReplyDeleteWhat a couple of sweeties you have! The one sleeping and the other one that's plugging away on that playhouse. It's looking good around your place, Henny. Be careful of your back.
ReplyDeleteThat big ole dog of yours is just so huggable!
ReplyDeleteI hope your playhouse is all your heart desires it to be.
You're probably as tired out as Eli after all that running around and fetching whatever Poppy needed.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear things are going well. You all have a safe, blessed weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou need one of those lite weight garden carts to hitch Eli to and let him help you , LOL.
ReplyDeleteI love to see what projects you are up to. Team work is working well for you two. Eli is such a dear. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHa, love Poppy's quote. ;-) I think my husband would say the same to me. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed weekend,
Carla
I can hardly wait to visit you in your playhouse! It is going to be grrrrreat!
ReplyDeleteI can not wait to see it all done. I believe that it Eli is wore out the way he is snoozing! Love you bunches!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy this, when it is finished. It has certainly been a whole lot of work, work, work. Your ambition amazes me!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Luna Crone
Many times being the 'go fer' is more work than being the boss! That first panel looks great. And from the previous post, your garden looks great too. Look at how far along your vegetables are, wow! It has been so cold and wet here the vegetable garden is on pause, but now finally we are getting some warm and sunny weather, but oh, where to start, and the weeds are a mile high....
ReplyDeleteWay to go Henny. You guys are making great progress. Gosh, I'm tired out just hearing about all the running you're doing as the gopher! Hope you're able to rest like sweet Eli soon! Thanks for the great updates!!!
ReplyDeleteBeing the gofer is the hardest work! Looking good and I am anxious to se the completed project! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you fence is all finished now!
ReplyDeleteEli is so sweet with his white eyelashes.Have a good week!

I think the efforts of the gopher are under appreciated! It has been my main job in life, starting with my dad. You two sure do accomplish a lot on your little farm and always something new in progress. I had to laugh at Poppy's comment. You do have lots of ideas, Henny! (all good ones of course.)
ReplyDeleteI am the gopher too. : )
ReplyDeletePoppy's right those gophers can create a lot of havoc.
ReplyDeleteGlad that at least one portion of the fence is in place. It looks great. You should enlist someone else to help with the bigger one. Man if that fell on someone it wouldn't be a positive thing for sure.
I'm giggling at Poppy's comment :).
ReplyDeleteIt will be so worth it in the end. Looking good so far.
Eli looks like a lovable fluffy fellow.
YAY! I am so happy to see your new post and the progress you are making in your "play house". I also love my garden and am thank full for my husband and his carpentry skills since I have seem to have an endless garden "honey-do" list! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Eli. No other words for it. I wonder have you seen the big white dog that lives across the street from us. Her name is Bianca. She is friendly...Oh, only the first two posts in this link has a photo of her.
