A day on the SawMiser making 2x4s from crappy bent logs from the property and then the Master Builder starts to cut out a whole bunch of wood for the “fence” posts. What is he doing? Are these rejects or is he secretly planning to build a fence for the chicken wire which I have brought back from a trip to Central Suppliers? No, he is planning to build a serious, ie straight Swiss fence with 4 x 4 posts connected by 1 ½ inch struts. This is the photo of the day: behold the garden! Meanwhile Deborah entertains the local environment officer who wants to help us understand the hyper-complicated and successful Nova Scotian system. Has she got it? We shall see tomorrow when we leave out our blue and clear bags. As he leaves, the Officer tags two TVs which someone has left on the side of the road by our entrance as miscreants . We even decide to take them to the recycling depot in town: good green chaps. My god are we green!
