Summer Night at our House

Our neighbor man had hip replacement surgery last week and is in rehab right now. We have been wanting to build him a hand rail at his front steps. This seemed like a good time to get it done! :)

Before:

I got to sit and watch Dan work :) and as I was sitting, I had lots of photo opportunities! :)

Now, I'm one of those people who HATES spiders and can freak out over them pretty quickly, but this little guy was on the porch where we were working and he was intriguing to me! I don't like jumpy, fast spiders, and he wasn't that! In fact, I was even able to touch his leg and he barely moved.
He hung around the porch almost the whole time we were out there.

God's creation is amazing!!

Jonas (another neighbor) loaned us his post hole digger which made the job a whole lot easier!!

Snowball was out enjoying the toasty warm evening with us!

Digging the first hole.....

Digging the second hole.....

Measuring and cutting!

Placing the posts and filling in the dirt.....

Snowball was testing his balance skills! :)

The sky was pretty! This picture didn't show well, but the rays of the sun were shining up behind the trees! :)

Looking north across the back yard.

Almost done....cutting off the extra board on the top end.

Interesting, whispy clouds.

Snowball had just got done playing with a ball of dirt! :) He was being crazy!
When Dan started the saw he went flying through the fence and up the tree on the other side, but immediately came down and back over to us! I think he was putting on that he was scared! :D LOL!

The finished project!

Before                              and                            After

Thanks Dan!! You did a great job!!

Now, would you just seal it or paint it too? Stain?? Give me your opinion!
