Bailey - Stairwell barriers 1

When we moved to Meadowbrook Mansion (coined) eighteen years ago I put up this barrier for Phoenix our Tonkinese and Gipsy a Chihuahua. We also had Cara a big Maremma. Later on when Gipsy and Cara were gone RIP we got Holly a Golden Retriever and Pixie a Miniature Pinscher and then two more Siamese. cats - Milo & Luna. I think that animal timeline is correct.

Anyway none of those pets showed any interest in jumping onto and walking the stair hand rails.

We have been petless since Pixie left us in August and now we have Bailey (another Tonkinese) and he is already showing interest in the stair hand rails!.

Day 2 and whenever we get a chance like when the boy is having a snooze we tend to our puncture wounds.

Rock wall garden edging - Part 1

 Removing excess soil

It's surprising how much soil washes in from the top garden level through the rock wall to overfill the narrow garden bed. So much that the metal garden edging is bulging out in places and looks unsightly.

I actually started this job a couple of day go by digging or rather scooping out soil along the back of the edging.

Chook run tidy again

Speckles will be happy that everything is back to normal.

Getting ready to staple the edge of the cage wire.

 Finishing inside the cook run.

As posted yesterday before I can finish the last bit of pebble backfilling there's some work to do inside the chook run - in that corner..

We stopped back filling here.

Weather cleared nicely; was able to go out and do some more like back fill the drain with soil and back fill the top end of the PVC pipe with gravel.
