First Projects: Fence


The first few things we did to the home were accomplished in June. We had to build about 100 feet of new cedar picket fence, and 3 gates, to ensure that Lucy wouldn't wander into the stream or road when we weren't looking. There were also a number of repairs that had to be done to the existing fence, since the previous owner had lamas, which must have been very and had kicked holes right through the fence.
We put the 8 foot posts in holes that were about 32" deep, leaving about 5 1/2 feet above ground. I also put concrete in each hole.




Mike also helped with putting up the fence. Thanks!
The donkeys (belonging to the neighbors) looked forlorn that they could no longer look through into our yard
This is the yard before we put the fence up
