Using the wood paneling that we removed from the west half of the kitchen, the hubby and his mini-me built us a gate to the chicken yard yesterday.
Yay! No more impaling ourselves on the metal as we squeezed through a narrow opening covered in chicken wire!

ReplyDeleteGlad you got your fence/gate :)
I agree--having a handy husband definitely has it's perks!
ReplyDeleteThis spring, Brad installed can lights. Amazing stuff! I dated one guy who said, "I fix things by writing a check." Okay, so he made more money, but my husband knows how to do almost everything "fixy." Love that about him.
ReplyDeleteI wish my husband was more handy! The gate looks great!
ReplyDeleteReally handy! It looks great. And I was laughing because you do 'wordless' Wednesdays like I do too. I just can't leave it at nothing! :)
ReplyDeleteDang, I am with Kimberly! I WISH my hubby was handy! You are a lucky gal! ~ LD
