And Finally a Fence

We've finally gotten to a place with the house where we no longer feel like we're camping. Now when we select home improvement projects, we gravitate towards the ones that show results immediately. We've toyed around with the idea of getting a fence ever since we moved in here. Our two dogs have been very reliable with the boundary, but every now and then they take off after a coyote or some moving bush. And even though they primarily stay in the yard, we can't control what comes into the yard. Also, we swap a lot of dog sitting duties with other folks. It's a always a bit of a pain to leash up the visitor dogs and then take them out. It also doesn't help that Scamp is a bully breed.

While Bob was in Australia, I called a couple of fence company's to give us quotes. We decided on All Arbor Custom Fence. Richard, from All Arbor Fence, was incredibly patient with all our questions, let us change our minds a million times, and in the end he and his team installed our very own awesome fence.

We decided to go with a 5' fence, cedar in the front and chain link along the sides and back.

With the shiny chain link and the gravel pit style back yard, we kind of look like a state penitentiary. But the shine will wear off in the coming months, and once we get some grass and other plants, it should start to look like home again.
