Now I was expecting to see mud in the morning but I didn't expect this...
It seems Mother Nature had decided to give us a hand with the landscaping overnight and in her infinite wisdom seems to think that a water feature... or perhaps a moat... is called for..
Apparently she forgot that DOG + CLAY + WATER = D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So this morning we had to figure out how we would keep Tyler (our dog) contained and safe (and mud-free) while we were both at work for the day...
We ended up having to put her into the laundry and set about removing the 'temporary' forest, and dog-proofing it, including putting the child lock on the laundry cabinet (which I'd discovered taped to the inside of the cabinet door a couple of weekends ago)... but were faced with another problem... we suddenly realised that the stupid lever door handles that we had to have (they would have charged us extra for normal ones) would be very easy for Tyler to open - even though the door does open inwards, I'm sure that she would find a way... So eventually I came up with this...
We might have to look into a lock of sorts...
Improvisation at it's best! Our block is in a similar condition at the moment. Last time I looked at the plans there wasn't a swimming pool where the garage is supposed to be :)
ReplyDeletea bolt should do it..... Dad
ReplyDeleteYeah I know... but with 15 minutes to come up with a solution this was the best we could come up with!
ReplyDeleteI'm envious of your tool shed now - everytime we go to do a job we need tools we don't have and have to buy a full packet of screws/nails just for a couple... :)
As you can see... there's plenty of work when you're ready to come down - and the spare rooms all made up for you! ;)
