De Fence

On Saturday our wonderful friends Meg and Erik got married (congrats guys!) and a fancy new fence got installed at the house. These guys knocked this fence out in one day which was pretty impressive to watch. The CPI security system also got installed and today the floors were supposedly getting sanded. My mom and I spent the ENTIRE day packing at the apartment. It's amazing how much crap we have. Thank the sweet baby Jesus this will be the last time we have to move for hopefully a very long time.

Mom on site

Nellie and mom both say there needs to be more photos of me on the blog. So here's me standing on a pile of wood. Yup.

I knew the property line went right through the huge mulch pile from when the stump was ground down. I love the neatly dug trench right down the middle of the pile.

Then, from out of no where, a local church marching band decided to get some practice by marching around the block a few times. Apparently these guys are headed up to DC next weekend for some parade but it was pretty awesome to have this music and drumline in the back ground for a few hours in the morning.

I decided to get busy and shovel some mulch back on to our side of the property line before the fence went up. If I waited I'd have to throw it over the fence. I did give myself a pretty sweet blister in the process.

Fence boards going up

Boards stacked. The quickness that these went up after the framing was in place was incredible.

Almost done

We'll have a few trees inside the new fence and a nice big blank slate for a patio or deck or who knows what in the future. I'm really looking forward to getting going with some gardening.

There are gates on both sides of the house

All done!

We cheated this line in a bit to give room for the Leathers' family driveway. We got to meet some more members of the family this weekend. Apparently there are 12 children ranging from 66-45 years old. I'm going to have a hard time with all those names.

Even with the big tree gone we still get a lot of nice afternoon shade in the yard which is nice.

Another shot. Don't you just love batch uploading photos?

There's a nice little nook because of the way the back yard is shaped that will be perfect for trash and recycle bins. Next post should hopefully have some floor shots.
