Before and Ahhhhh

Sometime in the last year, our fence went from being an eyesore to being a safety hazard. We had boards down, nails coming out, as as Irene proved, one good storm almost took it down.

Yuck.

But now? Oh, now I double plus heart our fence.

So clean. So straight. So not going to impale one of my boys.

Before

Erg.

And aaaahhhh.

So pretty.

It totally changes the way the backyard feels. Now I feel like we have a private, cozy little space.  We weren't going to install a vinyl fence because it's more expensive. We figured out however that if we're in this house for longer than 3 years it's cheaper to have the vinyl because of the maintenance required with a wood fence. Since this was our 5 year house and we've now owned it for 6 years I figure there's a fair-to-middling chance we'll be here at least 3 more years. And in the meantime .... Ahhhhhh.
