The Fence

Well with an English Springer Spaniel soon to take up residence we thought it may be a good idea to have a "dog proof" garden. First job the fence!

We have lived at our current address for over 2 years now and since we moved in we have been saying,"We need to replace the fence" getting a dog was just the sort of trigger we needed.
So after much measuring and head scratching we ordered a small rain forest which was duly dumped on the drive on Friday morning.

450 uprights and 3 days of hard work later and the fence is done. Rach had to cut every single upright to profile our rather uneven ground - thanks to Dad for the loan of the chop saw - without it I think we would still be out there now.
Fortunately it was a lovely weekend and we both caught the sun a little! We are very pleased with our new boundary and I will be impressed (although worried) if Tilly manages to jump over it!


Next job - kennel and run!

PS The photo of the garden was taken on my mobile - SE C902 I think it came out quite well for a mobile - maybe I should use it more often, it certainly is a lot more pocketable than the canon!
