Fence -- Finished

For the last 3 months we have been busy building a new fence for our property - at over 400´ to build and only able to work in our spare time - it has taken a while and boy are we glad it´s finally finished.

Our old fence (one of those cheap panel jobs) rotted at the posts and basically blew over in last winter´s wind storms. Not left with much choice we started looking at options in the spring - quotes to have the same kind of thing rebuild by a fenc company topped $10K - we dropped that idea in a hurry ;)

After thinking About it - we realized that it was the posts that are the big problem and deceided to use industrial chain-link posts rather then wood. To keep it looking good, we would run wooden cross supports from treated 2X4s and then use rough cedar facia. With Kellei´s friend who mills cedar and a lucky find of a company from Vancouver that put in all the posts and made the gates for a reasonable fee - we´re getting a significantly better fence for less then the $10K for the cheapo one.

As you can see from the photo - it looks pretty good - we´re thrilled anyway...

The photos also show just how much we still have left to do. Still need to get a roof on the burnt-shell of our 2nd building. We need to build the Deck and then clean-up the entire Back Yard... Ah projects ;)

But the fence was a huge project - and it´s quite a relief knowing it´s done.
