Fence

We've been talking about expanding our fence since the day we moved in.  The previous owner had fenced in a small portion of the yard, which has been great, but there was a flat area on the side yard that is just perfect for a swing set.  So, a couple weeks ago, my dad came and brought two guys over from Toccoa to help Bert tear down one side of our fence and put up a new fence on that side.  It took many days of hard work, but we (by "we" I mean "they") are finished and we (and by "we" I mean "we") are soooo excited!!  

Here are a couple pictures of the old fence as they were starting to take it down.  It basically went straight down from the corner of the house to the back wall of the fence.  

The girls had sooo much fun "helping." My dad was working hard on the posts in the picture below.  

Bert was so patient with the girls.  He let Emily help drill.  She told everyone within ear shot (as she was jumping up and down) that she put up a board "all by myself."  Ha!:)  

Working on the gates...

The girls insisted on wearing their work boots every time they stepped outside into the construction zone.  

Even with their bathing suits...the boots were on.  

The finished product...the back corner.  

A picture of the finished product from the back corner.  You can see in the picture below where the old fence was.  This new fence gives us lots more shade in our fenced in area...woohoo!  

So excited and thankful to have this project finished!!  Thank you so much to Bert, Papa Stan and Billy for all their hard work!!
