New Fence...what's next?

Our new fence is finally finished! What a nightmare that was…oh the joys of home ownership. To be fair we knew we needed a new fence at least a year ago, but kept putting it off because it was working for the most part. Then during the spring weather we had a day with 60+ mph winds all day and came home to a partially blown down fence. We could not avoid it any longer. All our neighbors got on board and we started to get quotes.

The first company we hired took down the old fence and then nothing happened for several days, so they were “replaced”. The second company was great, but unfortunately not all the lines got marked by the electric company and they cut one. It took 5 days to get someone out to fix the line so that they could finish. It ended up being almost 3 weeks of no fence and very unhappy dogs! Now it is done and it looks great!

Now it’s on to the next home improvement project… we have discussed tearing out some of the landscaping and put down sod in the backyard, re-landscaping the front yard, putting doors on the formal living room Bond uses as an office, and replacing the sliding back door with French doors. It seems like a never ending battle to have the house in good repair, but for now at least the fence is done!

What was your latest home improvement project and how did it go?
