Back Aches

Lately, we have been visiting our chiropractor kind of frequently. We just can’t figure out why our backs hurt. Honestly, all we have been doing is a little gardening. Really.

What Have We Been Doing?

We have just finished gate installation, on the new fenceline around our garden. so now we can go in and out without untwisting tie wires. First, Pete built three gates out of old 2×4’s we had around, then I painted the wood. Next, he attached pieces of the old fence wire and, “Wa La!” Finishing with three gates ready to install. They are loaded up on the tractor and we go on down to the garden to install them.

When I asked Pete, “Would you like some help with that?”

His reply is, “Nah, I got this.”. Let’s see, is that what you would call a macho reply? It doesn’t seem really easy to me. But, for heaven’s sake do not tell the chiropractor about this.

Each gate is kind of heavy and really awkward to pick up.

This 10-foot opening is the “drive-in gate” which has two pieces with each one being five feet wide and about eight feet tall. Next is the single walk-in fence further down the hill.
