Pretty much a "gamers only" kind of link.

Fence construction pictures, if you’re interested.
Warning – Seriously graphics intense.
I’m here to tell you that you’re dead wrong. Most of the people who came over to help in our yard today were people met through Live Journal (not to mention the fact that it’s where I found my fiancee).
We got an amazing amount of work done. The fence looks incredible.
I have some of the best friends in the world.
Thanks, guys. There is a new grill on the way to my house that has a private BBQ with your names all over it.
I’ve priced. I’ve researched.
I wanna do it.
New fence this weekend.
But, for those of you that want to help, know that it will end up being a two day project. If you’re coming from far away (Rob and Doug), you are welcome to crash if you want to help both days.
So here is the plan.
10 AM Saturday is when I’d like to shoot for starting. Coffee and breakfast can be available. The old fence has to come down and posts need to be pulled out. There are trees that have grown up between the chain link fence and the wood fence, so I’m going to get a chainsaw to cut them down and see if I can rent a stump grinder for the finishing touches. Once all that is out and hauled away (this is where xanyboi becomes so very key) new posts go in. I want to cement them all in. I know you don’t have to, but with this being hurricane central and all I think it’s a good idea.
That will be day one.
Day two, again starting at 10 AM, will involve putting up the fence sections and finishing them. I figure once we have two of them up some of us can start the finishing and staining process.
There are no corners or gate pieces involved in this. It’s one straight line down the back of the yard. Maybe at some point I’ll do more, but I figure this is a good start.
Dinner will obviously be provided both days to those who arrive. Maybe on a new grill. Depends on how much this fence ends up costing.
And thus, the Home Depot card will go right up again. *shrug* At least the house will look better.
There is a new pope.
I hope it’s James Brown.
Seriously.
I’d go back to church.
Edit My choice was better.
That’s disturbing.
I’m particularly thinking of the uber house duded donwaughesq and xanyboi, but anyone who likes an honest day of work is welcome.
You guys feeling up to a challenge this weekend?
Want to tear down and install a fence?
My mind is churning.
Lemme know.
If any of you were planning on getting tickets at the door for Bomb-itty tonight it is, apparently, sold out.
