Building A Fence....



Ever since we moved into our house a couple of years ago, we knew we needed to address our fence situation, but had other house projects to tackle first. A couple of months ago we decided this spring/summer would be the time to take care of the fence. The back of our yard had a chain link fence from the school closing our yard in, but this hasn't allowed for much privacy. I posted a picture of the one side of our old fence as you can see it is in pretty rough condition. After getting an estimate on a white vinyl privacy fence, we made the decision to build our own. We are using composite boards so that they don't require the upkeep of painting or staining that cedar requires. It has worked perfectly that my parents are here for a couple of weeks as my dad has been able to get a really good start on things. While I say "we" are building the fence, that really means Dan. We are hoping we have decent weather the next few days before my parents leave so that they can get as much as possible done before my parents leave on Monday. It is looking great and I will post more pictures when it is complete!
