Our first summer project (back in June - I've got a lot of catching up to do with the blog...) was to replace our backyard fence. It was certainly in need - there were missing and broken slats and it was leaning way back in some sections. Our work happened to coincide with some other neighborhood work - new windows and siding on the house directly behind us and a new deck for the neighbors next to us. Needless to say, we got to know our neighbors a bit better throughout the process!
The old fence coming down (further...)
No fence at all!
Leah loved climbing on the newly delivered fence sections. She's quite a good little climber - maybe I'll have a partner (and can get back into it) in a couple of years!
The new fence is coming along - great entertainment for Leah's dinner on the deck!
Here's Erik working to get the back panels up. This project certainly tested our practical math abilities. Are the posts in line, exactly 8 feet apart, set deep enough, and level? (In our learning phase(s), we replanted a few...). We also pondered whether or not the fence should be level, staggered, or follow the terrain. Take a look at fences as you drive around - we now have a whole new appreciation!
