Anti-Dog Missile Defense System

Without the missiles.

We spent this morning and early afternoon making more panels of anti-dog fence for the garden. Noel cut the wood to size, then cut slots in it on the table saw.

Then he strapped the pieces together with some assorted metal straps we had around (total overkill; these are for seismic strapping). Secured with screws.

In the meantime I cut pieces of chicken wire to size and folded the edges to make them easier to attach. With the whole frame assembled, we stuffed the wire in the slot and screwed it into place.

Stuffing the wire into the slot

A screw every foot or so holds the chicken wire firmly into the slot so the stupid dog cannot push it out and get into the garden. If we need to repair the screen for any reason, we can unscrew it and make a repair.
