We have needed a new privacy fence for about 10 years. It's rotten, moldy, has green stuff growing all over it. Steffi has dug under it and escaped more times than I can count. I have placed all kinds of things in the most rotten areas to prevent inquisitive noses from investigating.
See for yourself:
So for our piece of mind and our dogs' safety, we finally scraped together the enormous amount of money to replace the fence. We have a double lot, which amounts to about 1/3 of an acre. Lots of feet of fencing!
It hasn't been an easy process. Although we have a great handyman, he is not the fastest. He said it would take about 2 weeks. HA! It's now been 3 weeks and it looks like we are about half way through. It's been hardest on the dogs. We rigged up a chicken wire fence to block off part of the yard so they could still go outside from the deck, bedroom, and garage door.
But that area doesn't give them much room to run and burn off energy. Anika basically spends her time running up and down the deck stairs and looking over the baby gate to
bark at check out everyone who walks by.
As I said before, we are beginning on week 3 of this project. So far what's been constructed is beautiful, so I can't wait until it's done and the dogs and I can have our entire yard returned to us to enjoy. I've been itching to go to the garden store to add some plants to the landscape!
And the added bonus is that the cedar smells SO good that it really is a pleasure to be outside enjoying our first taste of Spring!
