Our Fence!

We got our fence very shortly after moving, but I haven't really posted about it. 

We knew we wanted to fence in our back yard before we ever moved. That's one of the reasons we were so excited to move...to have a nice sized yard that we could fence in, hang out in and let Bailey play in! We toyed around with building our own fence, but quickly decided we REALLY didn't want to go that route unless it saved us a LOT of money. We priced some things out and got a couple quotes. It wasn't going to save us a lot of money at all. One of the quotes we got was from a person one of my closest friends used, so I was hoping he would come out with the cheapest price. He did! We went with Kyle from Better Built Fence Company and we were very happy with his work! 

Here are some in progress pictures. 


End of day 1...the posts are in!


The majority of the framing is done here.

This is from inside the fence

 Most of the pickets were up here

An almost finished picture from inside.

Just a little more to go. Bailey was already enjoying her new yard!

Here are some finished pictures!

We got 2 5ft gates - one on each side. We can lock them if we want to. The latches are super handy and easy to open from both sides.

We are both very happy with the finished fence. We will need to stain it soon, but other than that, we're all good to go. The fence was finished within a week, even with some rainy weather in February! I know it would have taken us months to finish this project, so I'm glad we decided to go with someone who knew what they were doing! We were concerned about how small our yard would feel once the fence was up, but it actually feels bigger! 

We plan to stain it in the next few weeks. I'll be sure to post more pictures when we do!
