She will figure it out. My older guy was a wreck for 2 weeks when they were installed but subsequently happy to stand 1/2 with them ON him as extra fly protection.

Gah. Went over to help a friend sheet a roof and put in some windows and his old dog bit the snot out of my left hand (my fault, dog is stone deaf and I startled her by accident) and put a really deep puncture in the thumb muscle on the palm. This will put a damper on things for a bit, unless I can creatively vet wrap it. Hurts like the dickens too. Damn.

Oh no!!! That sounds hideous 
I’m plowing through, with my vet wrapped hand. Put up a shade sail because my neighbor is nosey and I’m sick of it. This is my lair. Don’t need her eyes in it, day in and day out.

I would paint huge comic eyeballs on it

I told my husband I was going to paint a big smiley face on it and he told me that was too petty.

I’m also planting three trees next week, that will ultimately be over the drain tile they do not have an easement for. I imagine that will be some fun fireworks, but if the trees do something to the tile we can cross that bridge when we get there. I need her to bugger off.

I second this. Or just put… Hi Neighbor on it.
Get some antibiotics for your hand. My dogs a biter, I get it.

It’s pretty swollen and pissed this morning. It’s feeling better as I move my hand around, but pressure on the palm is no. Here it was this morning - little stinker got me good. But a 16 year old dog with no bite history, it clearly was something I did. We made up afterwards, she just made a mistake.

Ouch!
Another option to limit your neighbor’s view is to put a stockade fence ‘wind break’ < cough cough > right there blocking their view of your stuff.

That’s a good thought, it would have to be far enough back to let the tractors out but not impossible. I could park my trailer right there,too, but I really want it in the barn for protection.
I suggest putting an eye chart on it. You know, BIG E, and so on. By the time she realizes what it is, maybe she’ll get it.

That’s an awesome idea too

Pick up a few used clothing mannequins and set up changing scenes back in the shadows. Maybe one could hold binoculars aimed unwaveringly at her location.

Ugh Shayney is now attached to the neighbor horses. She’s just pacing around and around the line of spruce trees, looking for them. They don’t give a rats behind about her, so this is a her problem. Hopefully she will work it out of her system. I think she’s in heat, which isn’t helping.
The poor Old Man. He’s chopped liver.

I think if it’s the same as the trim it’ll be too monochrome. The contrast of the white is nice, but maybe it could be another contrasting color that isn’t white?

Those doors tend not to hold paint well, need to be repainted often.
We learned to leave them with the original paint for as long as that lasted, that was way longer than if we tried painting them.
Eventually we had to paint them.
Just more to ponder.

It’s not even painted, it’s just primer. It’s an interior door, if that makes a difference
