Our yard backs a farm, which we love, but we haven't always loved our back fence. Years ago it was a nice tight wire fence and then a huge tree fell on it, and some cows pushed through it, and some horses pushed through it.... well you get the idea. Needless to say, the fence got uglier and uglier! It had been repaired with wire and clips and even rope in one spot. It had random pieces of fencing and also random posts of various heights all along it. It was pretty ugly. Can you see the random fence posts and random types of wire all along the back?? Fancy right?
A few months ago the back neighbor decided to change it out and he and Hema took it down. Here is what it looked like for the last few months. By the way can I tell you how much I love that my sweet 7 year old mows the lawn now!!
Well today the neighbors and I put the new fence up. We wanted to keep some of the wire open along the back nearest the horses. Our kids LOVE to feed them carrots and grass and all of that. We were using some old fencing that another neighbor gave to the back neighbor and I was crossing my fingers it would turn out. It started out a bit scary.
But after some serious stretching of the fence and some magical power washing by this little man:
It turned out pretty great!
I'd have to say that for a few hours of work and some free fencing, this little yard project makes a big difference! Now if I can just get the fire pit done!
