Wood Fence and Staining
We wanted to enclose the back yard so that Bailey could roam around and be left alone to enjoy the grass. We began the fencing project in November 30, 2008 and just finished it on May 13, 2009. This one took us a while because we put fencing in the front and back yard. We barely set all of the posts in the ground before it froze.

Holly dug the holes and Craig is mixing concrete so we can set the posts for the fence in the back yard.

We completed the front fence panels so that access into the back yard was blocked. Or….in other words, Bailey could not escape out the front : )

Now that the weather has gotten warmer, we started completing putting the metal frames, gates, and panels on the back yard – yes….a little while later. This area will some day be our garage and we will remove these gate panels. For now we wanted to put temporary gate panels so we could easily get the trailer, jetskis, and pickup out of the back yard.

Bailey is thinking to herself “dang….now I cannot escape out of the back yard” As you can see she loves her back yard!
