Our Next Project...The Fence--May 31, 2012

Now that our basketball goal is finished we've moved on to our next home improvement project on our ever-growing list of things to do...our back fence.  (This is a little hard to explain, so bear with me!)  When the people who built our house put up the fence, they decided to build the back section of the fence about 8 feet in front of our property line.  I guess this was fine until other houses were built in the neighborhood, whose owners chose to put their fences on their actual property line, creating a weird no-man's-land between our fence and our back neighbor's.  The area was ours to take care of, but since it was blocked by the fence, it was difficult to get to and became filled with overgrown trees, weeds, etc.  Basically, it was a pain.  So, we decided to tear down that fence and build a fence at our actual property line.  It has become another project that is quite time consuming!

 Oliver was such a fantastic helper taking down the old boards.  He's actually using a real power tool!

The man in charge!
