How many Rempels does it take to build a fence?

Well, the answer is 4, plus one person to photograph the process and a city-dog-in-the-country acting as supervisor. 



Who says you can't wear PJ's on the job?  Not me, obviously!





Safety shoes?



In our backyard, we have a chicken coop that attaches to a smaller fenced-in area that we have affectionately named the pet pasture (yes, we're very creative).  The thing is, the fenced-in area has never been entirely fenced in, and it never contained any pets (turns out the name was creative, after all!).  Last weekend, in a spurt of energy, Jeff and the kids determined to work on the fence (ok, Jeff determined, and the kids worked). The posts had been pounded earlier (as in 2010 or 2011 - hey, Rome wasn't built in a day!!). Before long, with lots of teamwork, the corners of the fence were solid, and all that was left to do was attach the page wire to the posts.  Page wire, as you may suspect, ensures the fence is mostly predator-proof.  Earlier this week, Jeff finished off the wire.  We're installing a walk-in gate to make the pet pasture really user-friendly.  We want to encourage friends and family to visit whoever is inside the pasture, at their leisure  This fence has been on our "to-do" list for a long time, so it's great to see it actually materialize.  Next on our list.....put a pet in the pet pasture.
