Fencing

Well, it took us about 4 days to completely move everything, but we are now officially moved into our new house. The first project on our list was building the fence. We started on our western fence, and had it knocked out in a few days. Tristan and Jasen have really been amazing during all this. They have busted their butts everyday digging holes, helping set the posts, screwing up pickets. It would have taken us much longer without all their hard work, and we really appreciate all they've done. After we got the western stretch done, we built the gates for the front, then built another fence with gates from the back of the house to the fence, which will enclose our trailer parking and dog run. We also had to transplant the tree from the front to the back yard, and move all the sod from the front to the dog run area.

 

Once everything on the western side was done, we started on the northern side, which we share with our new neighbors. We worked together with them and built the long stretch between our yards, then we built our side fence that connects to the house. We also built a small gate on that side, so we have easy access to the yard on either side of the house. In total, we built several hundred feet of fence as well as 6 gates. What a pain in the butt it was, but it sure feels good to be done with it!
