Granny's gone and done it again

Morning Riven, Nice looking coop. Does the hardware cloth go under the dirt ?
Ya know, Tom and I never fought. He is the most gentle soul. Always tried to give me what I wanted. Of course there was that rolling pin thing early on. LOLOL
This was before the neverending rain arrived - still needs the run roof and the rest of the dirt around it to cover the 18" of hardware cloth all around. I even stitched the corners together with wire - I know how good my own dogs are at digging holes in the pasture for voles! We added river sand to the run inside - I spilled a bit in the coop and the girls are very excited about it. Wondering if I need to add some dune fence around the bottom of the run so the girls feel a bit less "on display" with our big dogs around?

Scott and I don't squabble about much - he is gentle and laid back mostly. I look laid back, but am pretty OCD about some things, like building. My dad was a mechanical engineer and we always were building things together. Scott an I often don't see eye to eye on how to best do it, even with a plan. The run is 90% my work - I made a point of installing the door when he was at work :) WHen I built the door he came home and checked the diagonals for square: "let's see... 78" this way and..... a fat 78" this way. Not bad." Ha!
 
9 yrs aint bad. we have 25 yr gap between us and I hate it. I had fun with the assumptions people made of me being his DD but just lately he has been pretty sick and its breaking my heart to see him like this.
I'm so sorry he isn't well right now - I know what that's like. the first two years we were married we were in the hospital 6 times between the two of us for surgeries, including a spinal procedure :( I try to not to think too much about the distant future. I had been dating younger men than me, but we just didn't see enough of the world in a similar enough way. You love who you love.

How did you two meet?
 
Yeah I saw that about the lid after the fact. Sigh.
Was going for wood so I can hide canister filter behind closed doors/have out of sight storage for fishy stuff. Ah well. Gosh maybe I should just build something. Can’t be worse than the...

...did I start a reply last night and forget to finish it? Ugh. I’m sorry granny! Anyway. Can’t be worse than the prefab clapboard stuff the pet stores have.

Should get up. Gotta garden. Ughhhhh.
