The fence project

The fence near the west side of the house was dependent on a tree for one section. This wasn’t good for the tree or the fence. Many of the boards were rotting away and the gate was almost unusable.

Barb had a vision to move the fence to the south about eight feet. The old posts were embedded in concrete and couldn’t be moved easily so yesterday we put in new posts. The concrete was set by this morning so we did the move and renovation. This involved moving one section, cutting off a few inches, removing boards from other sections, placing them on a new section and adding some new boards.

Barb contributed more time but I contributed a little more engineering to the project.

There was a minor injury with a rogue handsaw. Barb patched me up and we continued. 20180513_11083820180513_11211020180513_114032
