Escape plan demolished

We finally were able to replace the front two sides of our fence. The old fence was so warped and sagging, that we couldn't open the gate without having to drag it across the grass. We were also so sick of our dogs getting out all the time. I hated having to chase them down, worry about them getting hit by a car or getting caught by the dog catcher and I really hated getting phone calls to let me know the dogs are roaming the neighborhood. (Stupid dogs) Anyway, we decided it was due time to go out with the old and in with the new. Sorry dogs, we have ruined your escape plan.

Here was the south side of the fence, well what was left of it after we took all the slats down.

And here is after. We didn't add a gate to this side cause we never used the old gate, so we figured, why put a gate in if it will never get used? Plus, it costs a bit more to add a gate.

The fence took about two full days to build. We decided to push the north side of the fence up about 12 feet. By doing this we had to dig out new fence post holes and pour cement. We lost track of time on the last day of fence building, and I had to stand outside with a flashlight while Morgan finished mixing and pouring the cement. That was a adventure.


Logan really was a big helper in this process. He is pretty good with a drill.

Clean up time.

After.
Notice how we just gave our backyard 12 feet of space.

And there you have it. Our new fence.
