I've seen this method in one of many books/phamplets that I have read over the years. Yes, the cattle panels would be a large up-front costs. I found some at a farm auction that had been cut to make teepees/trellises for peas and such, for much less than retail new price. I think I paid $50 for 50' of trellis and another 5-7 full panels. I paid more than the scrap metal people wanted to pay. Which is a thought for metal fencing/rebar or panels, check with your local scrapper and put them on a 'mission' to find things for you. Just expect to pay them more than they would get at the scrap yard. My son scraps and checks with me before he takes a load in. I've received lots of things, including greenhouse film that had never been opened (1 1/2 rolls). Great finds. Marla

well, i must say that those kids are almost as cute as mine were at the age!! :) i had a wonderful time as well, jo. as did dingus - he spent the rest of his day flopped over on his side in "happy bunny land". :) i don't normally brag on other people's children, but i have to with these kiddos! they were incredibly gentle with dingus. not once did i have to say "don't pet so hard, or don't pull his ears", or anything. even when they were playing 'i'm gonna get you' with him, they were gentle! you and yours are welcome anytime! let me know when you need more poo - i'm sure they're out there making us more brown jelly beans right now! lol :) dody

What a grinding, long-extended ordeal that you have all been though! And continue to endure! I pray that strength of body, mind and spirit may persist without flagging for all of you. May the medical people find their way through this maze with outstanding skill and diagnose the situation correctly. I hope that her situation may be healed as much as possible with as little disruption as possible. ole joyful

I really like Chelsea's gown, but it's unfortunate to 'match the carpet'. Some of the 'ugly' here is due to poor photography. Some of the dresses are ugly too, but in many cases the women wearing them don't know how to move or pose gracefully. They stand like cows -- two feet *planted* on the floor; heads thrust forward; gaping expressions. Michelle Dockery ("Lady Mary" in "Downton") looks fine, but the photo fails to show her as well as we have all seen her in the series. (IMO Dockery deserved a nomination for best acress, for capturing the changes and growth of her character. The nominees -- Ma, Pa, and Grandma -- were all caricture roles.)

Oh, too cool. How wonderful for you. I agree with Country, wish they had their own TV show. I sure enjoy them a lot.

Read your blog and really enjoyed it!
I have been to the Canton first Monday flea market
twice, and enjoyed it both times. But that was years
ago and I am sure it has grown a lot since I was there.
I still have some things I bought there and used
as patterns for our wooden items. We had been doing
shows in that area, and were running short on stock
so we also bought a 3-wheeled bandsaw, to cut with
while on the road. We didn't have all the sanders
that we had at home, but we made do. Fond memories!!

So funny, I have never heard of these 2 before. I happened in earlier today to read a bit, rarely come to this forum but I do when I'm in need of ideas. I read this thread, a few minutes later I picked up a Country Home Magazine that had come in the mail in the early summer I never got a chance to read. Flip a couple of pages & spotted their names. Fun!
