It's Done!

This is the fence in our backyard around our garden and the wood pile. To our best recollection, we think we built most of this around 1984. It is not this year's garden, however, just one of the many pictures I have come across in the last two weeks.

However, over the years the wood in the wood shed has pushed against the back wall causing the wall to bulge.

Fixing the fence has been on Curt's project list for several years. This was the spring to do it.

All of the boards were taken off. New support boards were put in place and the six support posts were reinforced. The alley behind our lot is used daily by three or four residents. We really like our privacy fence.

The week of rainy weather slowed the project.

Finally the back wall was back in place using the old boards. Instead of spacing them, Curt placed the boards side by side to keep the rabbits out of the garden and other critters from "living" in the wood shed.

Then he started placing new boards on the inside wall. This will look more like the fence around the patio next to the house. Ah, our privacy wall is back.

Then the wood shed was framed and the walls of boards in place to keep the firewood dry.

As of late this afternoon, the wood walls are all up and done.

 The firewood is now protected by a new roof. But...

there is more firewood to move back inside.

There is the door/gate to finish and a few other touches here and there, but it is done. Now the garden can be tilled and the veggies and flowers transplanted. That will happen this week. Good job, honey!
