Up

Fence is finally up!! What was supposed to take 2.5 days, ended up taking 4.5 because of the weather. It was finally finished Friday around noon. It rained all day Thursday and we still haven't dried out(Saturday) and it is supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow. So, our yard is a muddy mess. Today was the neighborhood clean-up, but we were not able to do much in our yard due to the wet. It will be a couple of weeks before we will be able to work in the yard again.

Don't Fence Me In

Fence is a 'go' for the back yard. Got the estimate taken care of and are going with that company. We are putting up a privacy fence parallel to the road and a 51(?) inch fence around to the front. I believe there will be three gates, including one that can be driven through. We went with a slightly higher fence so it would be up to code for a pool. Not that we want a pool, unless you have a degree in chemistry you shouldn't be messing with pool chemicals, but it would be a good selling feature. We do have to sacrifice a couple of trees and bushes, but nothing too heartbreaking. We will also have to bury the tile coming from the basement, HOORAY!! Work technically started yesterday with the surveyor's coming out, but the real work won't start until sometime in April, after everything has thawed out.
