Labrador Manor Project

This blog follows the restoration of Labrador Manor in Port Matilda, Pennsylvania. It will be both a source of information about what has been done and also an example of how plans change during the course of work. For our family and friends, it will keep them connected with our progress. For casual visitors, it may help with their own restoration efforts. For us, it will provide a way to look back at our efforts as they were and not just from the viewpoint of completion.

New Fence, New Dog

Well, I finally had half a weekend to get some things done and I used it to put up most of the new fencing. Lowe's was out of some of the parts I needed, so I didn't get the chainlink finished. I don't have enough money to buy the materials for the privacy fence right now, but hopefully can in a couple weeks. We've decided to build it out of wood because vinyl is too expensive and the selection is poor. We want to have an integrated arbor in that fence and vinyl has no decent options. So, I'll build one myself out of wood and customize some fence sections to work with it.

Here is a picture of some of the new fencing and the dogs.

Pictured are Koko, Bo & Hood in front with Ginny behind and CJ over by the gate.

Koko is a rescued spayed chocolate lab. She will be seven years old in July. Her owner is in the midst of a divorce and can't have her where she is living. None of her friends or family would take her and she was at risk of being put down, so we rescued her. Hopefully, this woman will get her life back in order in the next year and she can have Koko back. If not, we'll be happy to keep her. We had already reached the point of having too many dogs to take with us when we travel, so one more makes little impact. Hood really likes her because she loves to play. Ginny is not too happy about having another girl in the house. Bo and C.J. don't seem to care one way or the other.
