Putting up an electric fence to keep the dogs from digging and eating their way out the wood fence. Got the posts mounted. will have to remove some chicken fence and run the wire tomorrow. One more stop at Homedespot and I should be ready to lay on the charge to those escape artists.
Invisible fence? I'm going to try to build some sort of blade out of a piece of angle iron (2" by about 6" by about 7" long) to bolt to his tractor to cut a narrow furrow for the wire. (That was one hell of a long sentence!) We have about 2000 feet of wire to bury. Dumb *feces* Jack Russell puppies.  Nope, exposed live wire. When they hit it they will know. They will learn that buzzing sound means pain. I plan on hooking up a coil from a car, juice that puppy up to 20,000v. Little bastards won't go near the fence. And neither will the dogs. What kind of dogs? |

Myself, I'm hoping to go for a ride (except rain is predicted through Sunday).
Ditto. Probably do some maintenance (fluid changes, cable lube, etc) instead. |

Have fun!  Thankfully, we were able to check the furnace off our list. My weekend project will probably be booties for my new little cousin and possibly working a bit more on a doily for my mom. |

I'm watching my neighbor's tree crew remove a ton of Oak tree limbs from our driveway. They had been cracked and dangling 40 feet above our driveway for months since the ice storm. He kept saying a tree crew was coming to take care of it. Would have destroyed our car had we been home.
I'll be just hanging out with the family all weekend. Still can't do anything too taxing on the back.

Aussie/Border Collie mix (Jazs) and Black Lab/Chow mix (Harley). Harley is a big one, 75lbs of muscle and he's only a year and half. That's a big puppy.
[/quote]
Harley might be the big one, but I'll bet Jazs is the smart (handful) one. My sister has always had Borders, and I have an Australian/Dalmation mix. Lucy's the bestest dog I've ever had.

Just like the children are referred to as mine when they are conniving, sneaky, affectionate and especially smart! |

We used to have a neighbor who a) liked to put out seed for birds, b) didn't want to feed the squirrels and c) was a pretty freaking smart tinkerer. He built a bird feeder with a wire where the seed settled out and another wire on extensions about a foot back. These wires were connected to an old automotive coil which was connected to a 12-volt power source. Good old Earl had noticed that when the squirrels started to eat and relaxed, that their tails would fall straight back out behind their bodies. The spark from the front wire to the nose was incredible. Imagine a squirrel flying backwards 15-20 feet. |
