We walked into the store with the intention of purchasing the materials to put up a seventeen-foot length of fence between the back corner of the house and the existing chain-link at the property line. Why? To keep the poochies out of the front yard so I can landscape...yay!
We walked out of the store with all of the intended materials, plus a new light fixture to go next to the front door, two rhododendrons (I love rhododendrons...love them), grass seed for my icky old mud pit of a front yard, and a couple other odds and ends that are escaping me right now.
The first order of business was to install the new light...
...which was followed by three or so hours of hard freakin' labor, digging post holes and erecting the new fence. I'm proud to say that I'm one hell of a post hole digger, a talent of which I was not previously aware. And...I finally got the white picket fence I've always wanted. Eventually, there will be a rain barrel where you see the patio chair...but that's a project for another day.
After busting our butts on Friday night, The Princess went home with my folks for a sleepover, and I fell facedown into bed...where I remained for a very, very long time.
Beautiful light and the fence turned out AWESOME! It was such a good idea and it really looks so adorable with the rest of the house. I love how you can see Bubs peeking out through the fence too :)
ReplyDeleteHehe...we had so much fun seeing you guys this weekend! ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteAnd, yeah...Bubbles loves to make her way into as many of my outside pictures as she can. She's like that one kid in high school who is somehow in every picture in the yearbook. It's a talent, for sure!
