A DIY kind of day

Today Tony and I erected a new ranch style fence to the front of our house. The old fence has been on its way out for weeks … no....months. The fence posts are good and sound so didn't need replacing and the replacement fencing was all cut and ready in the garage way back in May or June... I have hinted and nagged for ages about the fence and finally in exasperation I said that if we didn't do it this weekend I would do it myself...… We had it done in less than an hour. Initially we were going to put a picket style fence around but having put the rails on for the uprights I like the ranch style look.  I think Tony was relieved when I said that I love the ranch look and didn't want the picket fence. He is really not Mr DIY and is an absolute pain to work with. I am surprised he isn't buried under the patio :-) Another thing I wanted was a towel rail putting on the back of the bathroom door.  I had suggested using a wooden broom shank and some hooks to simply rest it on as I don't want a chrome one and couldn't buy a wooden one anywhere. The hooks would have meant that the pole was too close to the door. I suggested putting heart shaped wooden blocks underneath to push it away from the door just enough to pop a towel over the pole. Mr Grumpy gave me a piece of wood and told me to cut the blocks.....I used my bandsaw to cut the four wooden heart shaped blocks .(two bathrooms,  two towel rails)    The photo shows Mr Grumpy holding them before I have sanded and waxed them. That isn't blood on his hands, it's creosote. I bet he could cheerfully strangle me when I get a bee in my bonnet.
