The Finished Product

Well... The time has come and we are FINALLY finished with our fence!!! YAH!!!! Suprisingly enough it takes lots of $$$$ to finish the section we had left.. However, we put the garage sale money in with a little savings and poof, we were able to buy supplies!!!
The project began last Tuesday... Rick (Cliff's dad) came over... The old fence was taken down, hole digging began with post diggers and posts were set with concrete. Doesn't sound like much but just imagine digging holes in rock hard ground.. YAH TOUGH!!! I was a blessing to have Rick there to help one day and get that far along.
Wednesday began early.. I took off the rest of the week and decided I was going to help Cliff. We got all the runners complete and yes I actually carried every single one down for Cliff. Those babies are HEAVY!!!
Thursday all pickets were nailed in and I even nailed every picket from our bathroom to the front. Quite fun to operate a tool like that! I was so sore from carrying all the pickets too. Cliff would have done it the easy was and loaded them on a wheel barrel, but I decided to just carry. Gloves came in handy after a few splinters. Yes the blonde appears again in me!
Here are some pictures of the final product, along with the many picutes of Cutter get tangled in the cords every few seconds. What a stinker!
