Update on the Fence

Since my last blog on the fence, much has progressed in our backyard. All the holes got dug, the posts were set with quikcrete and leveled, and the three runners have been installed. The picture below was taken on Saturday before we got the third runner on the bottom on. This all took a little over a week to complete. The next step is to nail all the dog ears on and then we can go on vacation! When we get back, we'll have to build the gate and then that should be it.

It has been educational for me watching and occasionally helping Shayne with the fence. It takes a lot of time and patience getting those posts set just right. I am very proud of Shayne for all the hard work that he has put into it. This fence is probably better than what any professional would have done. I have enjoyed the few times that Conner was napping and I was able to get my hands dirty and help some. Shayne and I work very well together. But I'll be glad when it's done so we can let Conner run free outside. I'll finally actually be able to sit down instead of chasing him everywhere! Who knows, maybe we'll go ahead and get a playground! I wonder if Shayne would be up for installing a playground next...? :) Is there time before school starts back? :)
