Finally.... a Fence!

The week of Halloween, we finally got our fence put up! Yay! We knew as soon as we put an offer on this house that it was in desperate need of a fence. The back yard backs up to thick woods & the left side of the back yard is on a deep slope. I didn't feel safe letting the boys play out back without a fence because i didn't want them back in those woods or anything "from the woods" coming in the back yard. We are so excited it is finally up & it only took them 3 days to get it up! The first day was all posts, the second was the fence boards, & the third day they made the gates & cut out the scallop along the top!

i think it makes the yard look great! At first, i thought it made the back yard look smaller, but i realized that this was because i was looking on from the deck, which is high up on the back of the house. This is my view from the deck... Once i walked to the back corner of the fence, the yard seemed MUCH bigger to me! We have a double gate on one side of the house.....
And we have a walk gate on the other side...I realized after uploading pictures, that i didn't take any from the front of the house (the outside of the fence where it looks the best.... but oh, well! You get the idea!!

The boys have already enjoyed running loose back there & i have already enjoyed having them out there (safe) and i not have to watch their every move!
