Yesterday I showed everyone photos of the found wrought iron gates and super steal Cragslist arch find. Today we finished putting these three pieces together for our new grape arbor. Then it was a quick trip to Lowes where to scored two huge concrete urns for $49 each. The manager at Lowes couldn't find the price so he gave us a discounted price for waiting. Awesome!
We have a lot of cleaning up to do and planting to make these gates less see through. However, I'm really liking how this project came together. Mr. Rural and I work well together. I say, "I want this," with my hands showing him in the air how I want things to be and then he draws things out and does all that planning crap I can't stand.
On a side note one of my chickens, Gertrude, is not acting herself. We ended up leaving her out of the run well we left the house to run errands. I half expected her to be dead by the time we got home. I can't explain what's wrong, she's just off. Well, she was thankfully alive when we got home and I stuck her back in with the flock. She is eating which is a good sign. Fingers crossed that this is just a molt or a fluke.

Love what you have done. Hope Gertrude is feeling better.

This is awesome. I have been looking for wrought iron gates or screens...I want to use them as a garden barrier (to keep chickens out) and let the cucs or toms or beans grow on them.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything is well with Gertrude! & the garden gate looks beautiful! It looks like you have such a lovely little space :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! They're going to look great when everything is all finished. Hope your Gertrude is doing better!
ReplyDeleteLove your new gate! I can't wait to see it covered with grape vines :-) Hope Gertrude is feeling better!
ReplyDeleteThe gates are really cool! And I hope Gertrude is feeling better!
