Below, all that is left are the four posts, two in our yard and two in the neighbor's as the fence ran under the house. Those will come down this week and the deck just to the lower right in this picture has half of the new paint on the base, so that also needs to get finished. The structure above was nailed and screwed together, so the nails were more time consuming to remove than the screws, but it still has been labor intensive.
My neighbors, whose home you can see, own an accounting business. With the delayed tax date and the virus and the economic stimulus issues, they have worked tirelessly until the first of this month. So, they are taking a much needed vacation, camping at a lake with family. The four furkids, two dogs and two cats are staying home. One of their employees will come to feed and walk the dogs, but one dog needs meds at night and I am going to see to that. I did go over last night to see how that was done and the critters are so friendly. I have been around one of the dogs, who is overweight and loves to play, but the border collie has issues and is pretty aloof. She is the one who needs a pill and eye drops. She did let me do that last evening and I will do it again tonight and let them out before they retire for the night. Frankly, I am glad to get a critter fix and still miss my fur babies and happy that I have been trusted to do this.
