Doors, Decks and Deer....

Mr M got the last coat on the back doors and got them both fitted this week, they look grand....

 

The deck will be up to the top of the piece of wood, so it won't be a huge step up into the house ;)

The deck ledger also got fitted to the front of the house, an 8 foot deck will run around three sides of the house.  The deck sits level with the ledger and the ledger will support the joists under the deck.....

 

We had some lovely evening this last week, and this weekend, after the rain had passed, we pretty much got finished up with project "deer be gone".  We got the final posts installed and put up all the fencing, and Mr M whipped up some gates for me, still some "touching up" to do but it's looking good and I am sure the deer are already feeling defeated....

It's all hands on deck this time of year....

Some of us would like to be more involved than we are allowed and aren't that happy with the new installations (how will I pick the peas?).....

Got my potato bins planted up.....

The deer are quaking in their boots and have started to employ the help of other woodland creatures, this week a mouse ate most of my germinated courgette  and cucumber seeds and dug out all the rest of them, and also proceeded to route around my lettuce bowl *sigh*.  So Mr M to the rescue and whipped up a "mouse be gone" cage for me....

Damn wildlife, not sure cheese is what they are after....

I love having a Mr M, I am grateful for everything he does for me each week........
