For those of you who know Ben, you know he cannot sit still when there is a project to be done on the house. For almost a year now, he has been building a wooden fence around our house. He has done this all by himself (with a little help painting from me) piece by piece. Well he finally put up the last panel last week. Our front and back yards are now completely fenced in, except for the driveway.
Here he is putting up the final posts on the north side of our yard...
Another view of the posts...we don't think our neighbors were too happy about the fence going up but that's okay, we really like our privacy!
A view of the west side fence and the pickets being painted. Ben painted probably a hundred pickets (both sides) one day and then nailed them up the next. He is such a hard worker!
A view of the lovely gate that Ben build all by himself. Isn't it pretty?
Finished! A few from the front of our new fence and gate... You may ask why are those posts so much higher than the gate...well, you know Ben, he has another project up his sleeve for the spring. He is going to build a pergola, which is basically a covered sitting area so we can have company over and have a nice shaded spot to sit and visit.
The amazing painter in action!
Ta-da! All done, isn't it beautiful? So straight!
Ben is very relieved to have this project done and we are both happy that Jade will now have a safe place to play in the backyard!
