OK, I just want to say this, and nothing else: there sure are a lot of dumbasses out there. Not here! Here! I mean, not in the Cellar, I mean in this immediate vicinity.
That is all.

Merc, I'm sorry about your MIL, but as you say, when it gets that bad, sometimes swift is best. It was only 5 months between diagnosis and death for my mum and that seemed fast. I can only imagine how much your wifes head is reeling after this time.
My thoughts will be with you both.

And once again, I try to accomplish the smallest thing and it blows up in my face:
We have a lot of dead shrubs and overgrowth in the back corner of our yard. I actually got up the motivation over the weekend to drag my ass out there and cut back a little of it. One of the things I cleared out was this long-dead thick climbing thing that grew up along the fence (it used to go over the top, but the neighbor had cut off his side long ago.) Turns out those stupid dead branches were the only thing holding the fence up! Now there's a huge section of fence that's fallen down into my neighbor's yard. I'd have left the damn thing alone if I'd known it was structural. |

Gardening accidents! Don't they suck?
Can't you just prop the fence back up or reseat the posts? What sort of fence is it?

Oh yes, it definitely isn't a feat of engineering to fix, just reseating the loose post and possibly replacing a crossbeam or two... but it will A.) need to be done by Mr. Clod, who already has too many honeydew tasks on his plate, and B.) may encourage the neighbor to bring up replacing the whole fence altogether--which it really does need, in all honesty, but we have far more important uses for the money right now.
