Here is a preview showing Carrie hard at work.
The fence is cedar and replaces the chain link that used to separate us from our neighbors’ driveway. It is seriously neighbor-friendly in that it looks the same on both sides; no ugly stringers on either, and we put the boards’ best side toward the neighbors.
The fence gives us a number of quality-of-life enhancements. It eliminates the chain link, its solid overlapping board design provides privacy, it creates some visual drama with both its design and color, and it makes our side yard a part of the backyard and therefore much more accessible.
Stay tuned for a more detailed report when the fence is complete.
