Many of you know that we purchased our first home in March.  It is on 1 acre and has a great backyard for the dogs.  Problem is that it is not fenced!  I have been holding off because of the expense.  I want it to look nice - we can tie into our neighbor's cedar fence on one side, but the rest is up to us! 

 

On Saturday I ran into a guy from high school who does all types of contract work.  He does fences quite a bit and told me he would purchase the materials at cost, not upcharge me on those and charge for hourly labor only.  He gave me a quick estimate based on the size of our backyard (probably .4 acres) of something quite a bit less than I originally guessed it would cost us.

 

January-March is super dead for him so he is going to come out after the holidays and we are getting started!  Cedar along the other side to give us some additional privacy and match the neighbor's, then aluminum along the front/driveway (with a gate to get to the back porch) and aluminum along the back.  I want people driving by to still be able to see our beautiful woods and don't want a huge privacy fence along the whole yard.

 

But bottom line:  the dogs are getting a fence!!!!!  I cannot wait for the day that I can open the back doors and let them run out and romp and exercise and play play play play!

I know you have been .......... really really hoping for a fence.  It is wonderful!  We got ours this Spring. I filmed my dogs the first time we let them go.  They loved it then, they love it now.  EVERY SINGLE time they go out the door they run with joy.

Merry Christmas, Allyson.

Woo hoo!  Tacky and Peri are going to love it!!

Thank you thank you for the well wishes.  I am going to rethink my aluminum thought and make sure Tacky won't slip out.  My parents have part of their yard with that and he has not left before, but something to chew on (we have time to pick things out).

THANKS ALL

Lady P and Little T must have been very good for Santa to be bringing them such a wonderful present!  They will love to be able to zoom around the yard.

Allyson, yeah for the dogs and yeah for you.

Our DD got a vinyl coated black fence because they too have a beautiful woods and nearly an acre "all fenced now"...they used that $$$ the government loaned them for 10 years no interest (if they waited 4 months it would have been free, oh well).

They have two very happy dogs as well as the dogs Grandparents (us) as we were so worried about the busy street in front.
