Friday Feb. 12—went to Home Depot with Grandpa and bought fence posts and stain/sealant
Saturday Feb. 13—painted fence posts and dug a few holes in the backyard
Monday Feb. 15—Dug 15+ holes for the posts, Jenny painted other side of posts
Wednesday Feb. 17—put up 15+ fence posts, some in cement, the others in these cool new metal post stands, Jenny painted the 2x4’s
Friday Feb. 19—Ben picked up the fence slats from Lowe’s, unloaded them and set to work, he nailed up the 2x4’s then the slats on the entire back yard (It rained/snowed all day long!)
Saturday Feb. 20— Jenny painted more 2x4’s, Ben continued nailing up the slats and got most of the side of the house and a small front piece done
Saturday Feb 27—Ben finished painting and nailing up the last of the 2x4’s and fence slats, filled in the bottom gaps with dirt, and wallah! WE have a backyard instead of a museum I used to call it that because anyone could just drive by and look at us). Thanks also to Tommy for coming to help Ben!
That night we had a campfire in our little metal pit just to celebrate our new found privacy, it was amazing!!!
AWE!! THE BLISSFUL FEELING OF PRIVACY! FINALLY!!!
Wow!! Awesome job on the fence. And could Jade be any cuter? Man, I can't believe she is 6 months old.
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! Good job, guys. I am very impressed. I don't think I could build a fence--hopefully I'll always move into places that already have fences. Way to go!
