Fence

So after about 3 years of living in our home, we have decided it is officially time to build a fence. After a few not so nice run-ins with the neighbors (loud parties, yelling at me while I was pregnant about our sprinklers, trash in our yard, dogs being trained to do their business there, random scary people walking through our yard, teenagers stealing things out of our yard, cars running over our garden plants, and the list could go on and on, but I will stop there!)
My wonderful husband drew up the plans months ago and made a list of all that he needed to buy and do. It even kept him up late several nights because he could not stop calculating. Alas, after several sleepless nights he finally has it all figured out and made the first trip of many to Home Depot to get the supplies. I think on Saturday he bought something like 27 fence posts and stain. Then on Monday, he bought more posts and some 2x4's, also needing to be painted. We had great aspirations of painting them outside this weekend, but due to the lovely weather (rain in February!) we ended up painting them in Ben's Dad's garage. We took shifts watching Jade and each took our share of painting. Ben has figured out that we will save a ton of money doing all of the labor ourselves....so here we go!! Next big project here we come. For those of you who may not have known us back then, we completely remodeled our home and lawn when we moved in 3 years ago. See some pics below...
