I love any shot of Ivy.

I'm very happy with the new gates. There were a couple of small jobs that couldn't be done today because of the rain. So they'll be back to do those soon.

This first shot gives an idea of how high the gates are.

And this second shot shows how unlevel the driveway is.

If the hens squeeze underneath, I'll just have to add some chicken wire or something until I get the driveway re-paved.

They are very nice.

Good morning/evening MJ and everyone

The gates look great, another level of comfort and protection for you and the girls.

I was surprised at how much safer I felt.

Are your ladies enjoying the rain MJ?

They mostly stayed out of the rain, but had a great time bug hunting. They did lots of 'look what I found' chittering, which is always very sweet.

I don't think we'll have rain today, but 7.6mm fell yesterday and overnight.

Those look like they will certainly keep dogs out.

The dogs are all quite large, knee high or larger, so I'm confident there will be fewer doggy visits.

Remember that time I panicked when a great dane visited the backyard? He was a lovely doggy, very well behaved, but I was in a tizzy the whole time.

I love any shot of Ivy.

I particularly like the point of Peggy's toe in that shot, but Ivy's foot inspection is also very charming

 

[MaryJanet]

They are very nice.

Thanks Bob! It's a treat to have gates that open with a remote control! It'll feel like Christmas for months and months.

Love the new gates! So happy they are finally in & you feel safer.

Love the new gates! So happy they are finally in & you feel safer.

Thanks! They don't match the fence, but they do match the brick pillars of the front verandah. I like the colour because it's shadowy, which keeps the gates from being an overstatement.

Once the last few jobs are done, I'll have a second remote which will be handy for when my friend visits to pull weeds out

I love that sound!
