Thumbs up Garden fence and A hoophouse

are my next two projects in that order Paul...I have deer up the ying yang....
and with several apple trees to attract them i'm sure they'll find my vegetables just as tempting...as they mature. i'll buy 200 hundred feet of green wire fencing...mostly because i want some vertical climbable area for squash and melons....that'll run me around $160 bucks... the hoop house will be half recycled sliding glass doors (4) with a real rigid frame...then i'll pvc pipe off that with 45 degree unions up top to achieve the gothic arch...and i'll have cross ventilation with a door at each end. once thats done i'll have flat city (lol) and plant seeds like a mad man... and start garden number 2.
.................................................. .................................................. ......
the boss was a little bit pissy but re-imbersed me $120 bucks for the saw...retails for 129 dollars at the Dome Heapo
saying i shouldn't have gone an bought another one...but i disagree completely.....especially when his new guy who apparently doesnt own a saw dropped mine when he should have been using the bosses saw...also considering that the cord to it had a temporary spliced section after getting sawn in half....and it he had arced and tripped the breaker... so thats when it should have come down off the roof...just one more cut...then boom ,all because the boss was to cheap to buy a decent blade and he had used it (His saw) previously to cut that super hard tongue and groove flooring....dulling his blade... shoot, you can change those blades out in what two minutes... they are only $10.00.
The Raven without a decent saw is unacceptable....I can't be waiting for him to fix my old one...on his schedual...because his plate is way way to full ! with projects galore up north - 4 kids and a farm...yeah right.
besides its the principle...and in that circumstance i had to firmly stand my ground.
