Ben helped me screw all the screws (since the drill and I don't really get along) and I measured and cut all the boards - it was a team effort! I enjoyed this small project that could be tackled in a day and had clear start and completion points!
Later...
This evening (May 9) Tracy Fire Department came out to Bob & Barb's (where we're living now) to burn the prairie. SUPER interesting to watch!
It was a very controlled fire and there was not much wind, but you can see how in Mary and Laura Ingalls day a prairie fire would have been so scary and monstrous with the wind blowing it in an uncontrolled path of destruction! The firemen made sure to have lots of water on hand though! :)
