Our house: the fence

I have to confess that I don't check on my yard that often. In fact, before Sunday I hadn't been in my backyard for a few months. Matt had the idea of putting a vegetable garden in so we could have some yummy produce. We went out to scope the terrain when we found that two sections of the fence were down.




I was a bit panicked, but I felt optimistic that Matt and I could figure this out. Our first order of business was a trip to Lowes. I'll skip over the details about driving around the perimeter of the store before finding the way in and us zigzagging through the store... we left with what we needed at least.


We realized pretty fast that this would take a few hours at best. I was worried that we wouldn't get it done in one day. Matt went through and replaced the brackets that needed replacing.


 

I worked to reassemble a section which was over 90% in ruins. 



It was nice out so we got to enjoy the sun. It was a bit of a challenge to finish up even after we got the pieces back together. The sections didn't quite fit into place when they were originally put up. Matt and I managed it though.

Next weekend we're going to put a garden in... it should be fun!!
