This is the back boundary of our yard. The gray looking wood is the fence that runs along the back of our property line. The old fence was done "professionally". It looks horrible compared to James' work!
This is James taking a break from his hard work! This is to the left of our house. This is the only part of the fence he has left to finish. Well he has to finish the small gate at the front, but that shouldn't take too long.
This is the front part of our fence. I will have to take a picture from the street so that you can see the fence face. I am so proud of James. Everything is screwed instead of nailed (to help prevent warping) and level. I will have to take a close up of one of James' panels and one of the "professional" ones so you can see the difference.
This a shot of the front half of the right side.
This is the back half of the right side of the fence.
Another shot of the front and, below, another shot of the back.
More pictures to follow soon! I took these this morning and he is now almost done. I am so lucky James is so handy (and handsome*)! We have spent right at $1,000 for the material for the fence. To get Lowes to install the same amount of fence that James did (I think they did the one in the back) would cost well over $2,500.
*There is a Canadian show we used to watch on PBS called the Red Green Show. At the close, he always says, if your wife can't find you handsome, at least she can find you handy (or something to that effect). So I was just making sure no one thinks it was one or the other!

Wow, the fence looks great! I really wish we could get one. You have a big yard too. Great for kids to play!
Your yard is really big! James worked on your new fence all alone? He deserves a reward for doing a great job like that of a professional's! Cheers!
