A long days work.






Have you ever done a project around the house? Decide to build something.... and you think "oh, that should take a couple hours"....
Famous last words.
Today we (meaning our neighbors and us) built a fence that will give us some side of the house storage. It took all day, but we got it all done and it looks great. We had some awkward measurements we had to deal with in order to fit things... and a large gap where the hinge was.... but the end product is fantastic. I have a whole new respect for putting up fences though! Now we will just have to get some grass seed down and try to get our middle section all green over the "winter" (and all the rain). Very exciting! Nothing like those great home improvement tasks.

Wow, it looks great! I had not realized how much room it would give you. I was thinking the back fence gate was closer to the side door. I bet a lot of the neighbors will soon be thinking about doing the same thing. Well done. (Oh, and by the way, the only people who think any home improvement job is a snap have not done many nice looking improvements.) Proud of you!
