Our Fence is going in

About 7:30 this morning I got a knock on the door from the fence guys asking me to walk out where I wanted the fence to go. I told them where we wanted everything to go and then they got to work measuring out where posts would go and pulling strings for straight lines, etc. Then they started hand digging all of our fence holes - over 40 of them! After watching them work, I am so glad that we aren't trying to do this job ourselves! We will have a 3 foot picket all around the front yard and a 6 foot privacy fence in the back yard. We are so excited!!

This is the pile of fencing that was on our lawn last night

Back yard yesterday getting it ready for the fence

Before pictures. . .


I left for a few hours this afternoon to run some errands and when I got home this is what it looked like! These guys are quick! All the posts are in and set and tomorrow they will work on putting the rest of the fence together!
We had to go back a bit from the sidewalk here because of the stupid road sign. I plan to put flowers all along here instead of dealing with grass and having to line trim all the time.Our poor lawn is seeing the effects of neglect from all the construction that we have been doing, but it will come back to life and look beautiful again, especially with the new fence to frame it!
