How our fence went from trashy to classy (well at least as classy as a fence can be)

Our fence was bad. Not like "oh it looks old" bad, but "hope that light breeze doesn't take out another chunk of our fence" bad. So after doing our research- and boy howdy was there a bunch of very different opinions out there on cedar vs treated pine, wooden vs metal post, spacing of pickets, well you get the idea- super exciting stuff ;) we bite the bullet and took our vehicle of choice-our crusty truck (ps. I need to blog about that, we have an awesome old truck that we both have a weird adoration for, in fact Andy is in the driveway waxing it as I type, anyways, another post..) to Lowes and bought all the wood.

Okay, so here is the rotted beast (please look at the ugliness of the fence and not the barren wasteland that is our back yard, next step is sodding the yard in the fall! Baby steps right?)


Andy and our neighbor Tim working hard! Should 12 hours of work end just because it is dark? Apparently not....




There was a little bit of debris to dispose of so we had a field trip to the dump. Thank goodness our friend Ryan has the hook up with an amazing dump trailer that did all the work. We were SO the fanciest people at the dump that day :)



And here she is! Yes, our fence is a girl- she's pretty.



Our sweet fur baby that likes to escape from the backyard (but never leaves the front yard for some reason) was a good girl stayed put the enitre week we went without a fence. Plus she is cute so she deserves a photo too right?


Woo hoo for Andy rocking out another home project while I sat and ate ice cream sandwiches on the deck (pregnancy does have it's perks). Next project is replacing dining room, kitchen, and nursery window, we are going to pick them up tonight. Hmmmm...I thought nesting was suppose to be cleaning the baseboards or something, this baby is kicking us into overdrive on the projects!
