My husband and I moved into our new home in Sept of last year. It's in a newly built neighborhood and got to have it built to our preferences - cabinets, carpet, paint, light fixtures, etc. It was overall a good experience, mainly due to the fact that we stopped by the lot a few times a week to check on the progress and reported any discrepincies to the office immediately. However, with a new house comes things that you don't get with a developed neighborhood - big, beautiful shade trees is one... and a fenced yard.
So, we decided to use some of our "stimulus" money toward our summer project and built the fence ourselves. And this weekend, we finally finished!
Here's the gate - This was our first attempt at building a fence, and the gate was the hardest part, but it turned out pretty darn good, if I do say so!
Here's the view just on the other side of the gate - and Lady, enjoying her back yard.
The next project will be landscaping!
