Protection from the woodstove
This year we decided that we needed to protect Emma from the woodstove. No matter how well we were able to train her to stay away from it, she would never fully understand until she was burned. On a woodstove that can be catastrophic. M. decided to build a fence around it. Even if Emma was careful, there is a chance the dogs could knock her against the stove, or she could trip and fall against it. Here is the fence M. is building (it's cedar):



This photo might give you an idea of how the fence is taking over the living room, we have about 2/3 of the room left to actually occupy.



The dowels will be chopped down and have nice knobs added to the top. M. still needs to complete the anchors to the wall. The whole front part swings out for access to stoke the stove. It looks really nice IRL.
