Fence!

We have lived in this house for five years and for five years I have wanted a fence!! But the price was ridiculous! One guy quoted us $14,000 not stained and one guy quoted us $13,000 stained. We are doing it all ourselves except digging the poles and it is still going to cost us about $8000 when it is done. Isn't that ridiculous?! AGH! But, we will finally have a fenced in backyard that I can let these boys run like wild animals in and not have to be checking on them every 5 minutes!!

Phase 1 - the crew came to dig the poles...worth every penny..

Phase 2 - our amazingly awesome friends came to help! (plus a couple more friends and neighbors that I forgot to get pics of). We are so incredibly thankful to you guys and could not have done it without your help! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

There was pie and other goodies...

Plus a 10 year old boy spying on folks with my camera but he did get caught by this guy...

Noah's spy pic of daddy... 

Phase 3 - A friend of Jason's came over to help weld and steel-reinforce the gates so they will never sag! Oh and by the way I helped Jason hang 24 of the 80 gates...girl muscle power!!!

Phase 4 - Staining - My dad came over to show me how to use the sprayer so I started Friday...

AND NO WE ARE STILL NOT DONE!!! OMG this project is a big one!!! Will it ever end?!!!
