Today was another day working on the garden enclosure.
Once I got it going I set out to make another gate in one of the enclosure ends, so I had to bring the end piece back to the welding area. I unfastened the temporary wires I had it tied up with and drug the end piece over to the work area.
Making the gate
I measured and cut some more rebar to make the gate which is almost complete here.
Once that was done I drug the end piece back over to the garden and set the end piece back up again and wired it together.
This is the end piece with the new gate installed on the far end.
Next I put some chicken wire in a couple of the panels I made. I fastened chicken wire to one side panel and one top roof panel.
Stiffening things up
Once I put a roof panel in place the whole structure started to tighten up as the roof panel started to stiffen the whole thing up.
All the welding earlier in the day had taken it’s toll on my back but I kept at it until almost dark and got the panels I had put chicken wire on up and it looked like this.
Back says quit
I still had some more day light but my back said to quite or else, so I quit working on that for the day and then just sat around enjoying the yard studying what I still need to do to finish the enclosure. I still have quite a bit of chicken wire to put up yet and some more panels to weld up. I’d say I’m about sixty percent complete, maybe a little more.
Weeds grow fast
I did notice the grasses are growing fast now so it won’t be long until I will need to mow some of them down for fire protection.
Hi Patsy,
You’re right about the back speaking a great story, a whole life time almost, of abuse using it, but then again, it’s got me through it all. :O)Hope your weather is good when you get home.

Nice job today, I feel guilty (almost) sitting watching you work. :) Our backs speak a great story so we have to listen to them.

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
