A constructive day

KJ now has most of a new back decklet and stairs, the first step to making the dog door a reality. I ran out of screws, and still need to trim the side and figure out the railing.  With some coaxing (bacon treats) the dogs were persuaded that this was an acceptable way of getting into the backyard. Bess promptly ate my carpenters pencil. It's a good thing for her she's so adorable. 

Construction with dogs is a balancing act. 

Throw the ball

drill some holes

throw the ball

set some screws

shut them in the house 

cut some wood

with the borrowed circular saw

(I knew I should have brought mine)

at least I have my drill

I can't imagine life

even on the road

without a cordless drill
