A New Fence in the Making!!!
The first and most difficult phase, digging the post holes- 16 of them, by hand. Each hole was 28" deep . I felt bad for Mark out there working so hard, so I even tried my hand at digging a couple. I may have lasted 15 minutes. :-)
Finally getting the boards up. The easiest part of the project!!!
Our completed privacy fence---120 ft. of it!!!~Disclaimer~
We do actually try to be very 'neighborly' to our neighbors. All of them. :-) I gave them produce from the garden, their kids have been over a few times to play :-{ This summer their water was temporarily turned off so they asked if they could use our outside faucet for just a couple of buckets. What do you say when there are that many people and it's 95 degrees plus out. SURE!! When we got our water bill the next month it was nearly double. HHMMM-- Wonder if someone used a little more while we were gone every night to camp??? It was time to "draw the line". :-)

Hi there everyone! You are making me hungry! We sure love fall! By the way I think you're going to love your new "privacy" fence. Love to you all! Tina
We have nice neighbors, but the ones on the north side could use curtains on their bathroom window. I think I'm going to need years of therapy...
Very nice privacy fence! Your caramel apples look very yummy!
Send some apples my way! I'm still trying to figure out 16 humans and 12 dogs!!!!
Ouch for the water bill. I can understand the fence, too. Do these people by any chance have roosters or chickens?! :-)
I like the privacy fence Mark made, he did a good job. I'm sure it was A LOT OF WORK! Your neighbors sound very interesting! =) I sort of understand the neighbors needing WATER situation! For about 2-3 months a family (actually we later learned 3 or 4 families) who live on the next street sent their children almost daily to our house with 5 gallon, and sometimes 10 gallon jugs to get water. (They would bring the two 5 gallon jugs IN A BABY STROLLER!) We got sick of answering our doorbell. Thank the Lord, they must have gotten their water fixed, or forgot where we live. =)
Thanks for the congratulations on our baby! We're very excited!!!! (And I'm sooo sick!)
The caramel apples look yummy!
Love y'all, Heather
Wow - the fence looks great! That's awful about the water. I made a triple batch of the caramel apple dip for the students at Phonathon tonight. They must have loved it since the large crockpot was nearly gone.
Wow, that Mark. He is such a handy guy! I must confess that I still have a hard time seeing him as anything other than "little" Mark Burley, as carefree as the wind. ANd now he has a wife and kids and annoying neighbors! :-) (I know you didn't say annoying, I did. Sorry. LOL) Anyway, looks like he did a great job. I'm impressed. It would be nice if sometime in this life we would all end up home at the same time. I would love to see you all. Talk to you later. Holly
Great job on the fence Mark. I'm sure you all are loving the privacy. :)
