Watch men sweat part one

On every single base we have ever lived we have never been blessed to get one of the houses that had a fence. This little fact has sucked apples. On most military bases if a fence is not already on the property than you are more then welcome to build one yourself. As long as you use the bases materials and you build it to the specs the base deems correct and in most cases their pretty normal. Once the fence is built it has become part of the home and must remain with the home. You did the grunt work but you didn't have to pay for the materials....there for fency no yours.
Except for this base and perhaps others I have yet to visit. You can build a fence here, you must still follow all the rules and guidelines given to you by the housing officer however you much pick out and pay for your own materals. You must then build it yourself....or higher them to build it for you...that's new. BUT if when you move you'd like to take the fence with you than you may do so..........
yeah I had nothing to say about that because it's so ridiculous that it's almost funny.

I of course am cheap, and the guidelines to have a wooden fence were so misconstrued that to have one you would really have to have them build it for you (their evil plan I'm convinced) so the only way that equation can work out is to just go with a chain link fence. Which is what most houses here have. Which seems weird to me because to be honest it sort of makes the houses look.....well, crappy.......but still those are the rules. You can see now why living on a military base is not something I enjoy to do but that I still at times must do.
Having decided that we were going to build it ourselves and having chosen to build a chain link it was time for all the real work to start. And I would have you know that these are the only photos I have of the whole event because my dear readers I was out there helping. YES!!! Your's truly helped pound in 2 inch pipe, 24 inches into the ground. I have the deep penetrating sun burn to prove it. which only goes to answer that long wondered question that, YES I DO STILL BURN.

This weekend we laid the pipe and that was all that we did. Not because it took forever, because it in fact only took about 2 hours and not because it was so hard that we were dying afterwards...although we totally were. No we could only go as far as laying the pipe because all of the other tools needed were MIA. See someone had rented the tools from the base shop but no one had returned the tools from the base shop...which was awesome. So now I get to enjoy doing more fence building this weekend....which I'm kind of okay with

because it means I get to look at this man and this man's arms all day again. And there are no real words to tell you how good it is to look at this man when he's workin his arms like this......no words at all.
