Well, no serious injuries, and so far the fence is looking good...

However (and you knew there was a however!), neither of the two lumber yards I went to had split rails, so I had to buy redwood posts and split/rusticate them. And, since I did not bring tools for that, figuring that I could buy already-rustic wood, It was a time consuming process. Of course I could only shudder at the notion of using power tools to make properly milled wood look like something that we inherited from Abe Lincoln, but it works, and the fence is coming along. Due to a full schedule back home today, we had to return, meaning that I have at least one more trip to Sacramento to finish this thing.

The weather in Sacramento was utterly perfect, by the way. If any of my out of state readers are trying to figure out where they should go for a lovely early autumn vacation, I really recommend Sacramento: interesting history, beautiful weather and river, easy drives to the Napa wine country, Bay Area, Tahoe, etc., good restaurants, beautiful parks, very good coffee houses, some good bars, etc.
