The Fence is Finally Finished!

When Amber started crawling, it was a huge wake-up call for us. Someday Amber would be playing in the back yard and would need an enclosed space.  Building a fence around the yard was always on our list of things to do but it kept getting pushed down as other things came up. 

Good riddance!

yucky fence parts

The neighbor's gate also got an overhaul

This was undoubtedly my biggest scale project 

Laying out the fence and planning where to plant the posts was its own undertaking

Dad came down and helped install the cross beams after I planted the posts

Gerald and I would install the slats after work

After 2-months of work It is Finished!.

We love how it creates our own private park.  Now we can enjoy dinner on the patio without seeing other people walk by.

We decided to extend the fence out to the front of the house to hide the utility wall.

 

So glad we did

The final touch was a little half-fence between us and the neighbors
