THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME - But There are Issues

We made it!

We are all in place.

Lily just went up stairs.

Khloe is in the floor,

Molly on the couch with

me and Dakota and

Cheyenee is in the chair.

We survived our first night

home. For Dakota, Lily and I

we have not been here since 

Dec. 27th. 

However, it has not been without

issues. I already miss mom's

fenced in yard and the 

amount of space her house

has compared to mine....

thank goodness these are not

big critters!

This probably being the only

dog I left at moms house!

Todays goal has been to work on 

getting a fence in the works.

BUT...there again, life can't

be without issues!

I live in what is called a 

zero lot line.

Those of you that don't know what

that is let me see if I can

help explain it~

A zero lot line is two homes together,

like a duplex, only mine is more

like two townhomes put together.

Zero lot means no lot (land) between

the two places. I used to think it 

meant that is was on a small

yard...haha, nope, I have a good size

back yard. 

Now back to talking fence, I would have

to have the line between the 

the two places surveyed to know where

to put the fence. Most homes would have

a metal stake in the yard but this

place was built in the early 80's and that

stake has been covered up 

over time. I have the yard specs and

measurements on a drawing that came

with the house but the issue there

is that the other side of my yard

is a creek, can't use the same 

measurements cause the creek has

washed away some of the land since

the 80's!

There we are back to issues...

I can't locate the stake

with a metal detector and having

to have someone come and do it is

not at all cheap.

CRAP...

PROBLEMS,

PROBLEMS 

and more 

PROBLEMS!

Then I remembered something I saw

on PINTEREST once!

A makeshift fence with pallets.

Flip side, these are treated for 

termites so that would solve

that issue (big deal in the south).

I could install it more to the center of my

yard and not the two yards and it 

would only be temp. 

I could pull it down when I move

and the cost would not be 

as much as a real fence.

I think this would keep the critters

in the backyard.

A post

or even rebar drove into the 

ground and slide the pallets

over them should work just 

find for four small brats dogs.

I also know where I can get some

pallets, as many as I need

FREE!

Next issue~

my state of mind!!!

Stress!!!!

Been an on going thing since Dec.

I was operating on adrenaline

till about two weeks ago and I 

crashed. I had been crashing here

and there but only for a day or

two at a time then I would

light a fire under me and make 

myself go again....the last

couple weeks I have had a hard

time recovering. 

I left things at moms a mess.

I have things I need to 

move back to my home.

I have things that I need 

to bring that I have tagged

as mine that was moms that

I need to bring home. I have

cleaning at my place to do

and I need to find a spot for things.

Wishing it was as easy to build

on to my place as it is to

put up a makeshift fence.....

~SO ~

I think I will give this a 

try and see if it helps

to calm me down some.
