Backtracking

Lately I just haven't been able to catch a break. If it's not one thing it's another it seems. See, I usually do my blogging from my phone, rarely logging into a computer unless I want to make a post...which as you can tell hasn't been too often lately. I didn't realize I had a few post drafts that were never published. So instead of delete them or leave them pending, here is one. It was meant for several weeks ago when we completed project privacy fence. We have been thoroughly enjoying the backyard!

Michael is so great. He spent a full day by himself putting up the fence runners while I was at work. Easily a two-person job. I guess the ol' nail gun counted as person #2. When I got home from work I was quite impressed.

Since all of the runners were up, it's time to move on to the boards. You would nail one up, move to the next and keep going and going and....going. Then you just tried not to look and see HOW many more feet of boards there were to put up. One board at a time people, one board at a time.

The finished product! Our backyard is flat then starts to slow, which made us really scared on how exactly this project was going to go. We had never built a fence before. Since this picutre the holes under the fence have filled themselves in quite nicely. Outdoor privacy from the neighbors + keeping Penny and Holly away from Miss Janice next door who is scared of dogs = sweet fence success!

While we were outside slavin' away, I came in to find Ceecee boy snoozin' away.

He's a weirdo

So to celebrate our newly found backyard freedom, Michael grilled out some delicious steaks.

We sure are enjoying every minute of it!
