Mending Wall

Like Robert Frost, I find the boundary-less lack of fences in the oak grove refreshing. To the side however, the City of Corvallis requires a fence to protect us from the four foot drop of the retaining wall. Prudent perhaps and, in such close proximity to the house-to-be next door, I like the fact that Brian and Colin are building us a fence. Here's the side view:

Now it's a case of finishing the front section.

Molly needs to weigh in on the construction as this is the main way she will get in and out of the house (muddy dogs have their own bath tub in the garage).

In short order the front section is completed:

And now we have Molly's official entrance:

Just add a Molly gate...

 
Oh, and of course the steps to get into the garage...

And the aforementioned over-size utility sink that makes for an ideal Molly bath tub...

And Molly is all set!

I am not sure if Molly really needs the fence, but for those of you interested in Robert Frost's views on the subject, here's a link to his poem:
