Proud Work

My wife and I are investing a lot of energy into home repairs/renovations. Just recently, we finished updating our downstairs bathroom. Mrs. Rodgers did most of the work on this, but I helped out by doing some plumbing work as well as tiling the floor and setting the toilet and sink in place. It looks great!

Then, last week I built a fence around the vegetable garden in our backyard. Our neighborhood is home for lots of rabbits (and when I say lots, I mean it's not unusual for there to be 3-5 rabbits in our yard at one time) who like to jump the fence and eat our vegetables as they grow. As a result, I ripped up the old fence and built this structure in its place. This fence is 3 feet high (twice as high as the old fence) and I buried the chicken wire 1/2 a foot under the ground so that rabbits will have trouble burrowing under it. Yeah, it's just a fence, but every once in awhile, when you finish a project, you can step back and very proudly say "Yeah, I built that!" It's a good feeling.

In other news, remember when we made 3-D maps of Africa and you had to identify Victoria Falls? Check out this video of "the most dangerous swimming hole on Earth" where people are swimming on the edge of the falls. This is nuts!!!
