Four More

We had to take advantage of the beautiful weather today by getting outside and putting in another long day building the fence.  The results?


  • Four more panels installed, two on the north and two on the east
  • 32 more feet of fence to give us privacy
  • 1, 642 more sore muscles and joints (Lead me to the Advil!)
  • Seven hours of work
  • Two happy (and exhausted) people
The pictures will tell the story.

This is where we started this morning.

Our first panel needed to go up on the east side.  Note the stick in the middle
of the dumped dirt pile.  That marks the spot for the first fence post today.
With the panel installed on the east side, we turned our attention
to the north side.  We needed to step the fence up on that side to allow
for the grade in the landscape. 

Note how the latest panel on the north side is a step up from the rest.

Our final picture shows that the added four panels are starting
to create a "fenced in yard" feeling to our landscape. 
We have just enough cement left to install one more 8-foot section of fence, but since the weather is supposed to be wonderful tomorrow, we have decided to dig holes instead.  To that end, we will go tonight to rent a power auger for 24 hours, and with that auger, we hopefully will be able to dig all but four of the remaining holes.  I'll let you know how tomorrow goes...
