One Step Closer, and the joys of warranties

First, thanks to Matt and Rob for their tool tips. I am definitely going to shell out some cash on a better hoe and a couple other things, but for now, I have a fork again. I happened to notice the tag on the broken fork said lifetime warranty, so I sauntered on into the Home Depot where I bought it, set down the two pieces on the return counter. The indifferent cashier (I have yet to find another kind at the HOME DESPOT) said "You wanna nuther one?" since I didn't have the reciept that was my only option, so I walked out with a new one. I was a little more gentle on this one. Which irked me since the last one broke while it was tugging at a root no bigger than a pencil.

At least I finished digging the beds. And I managed to make some progress on the arbor for what will be our kiwi vines. My wife keeps asking me why I dont just make a more simple design. I tell her again and again that it needs to be sturdy to hold up the vines, but somehow my description always comes out sounding overbuilt. Oh well.

It was too dark outside for pictures when I finally hung it up for the night. Sorry.

And I helped by brother and his wife move this weekend too, so I'm pretty sore.
