FENCE!!

WE HAVE A FENCE!!!!!!  And the old yucky fence is gone!!

I am sorry I have no pictures yet because when I left for work today it was too dark.

I was so happy last night when I saw it I almost burst!

Now I can start being excited about something else. :)

Photos of whats been happening

Just like I said yesterday I am back today with some pictures!!!

Jon's mom contacted the county about the drainage problem we were having and this is what happened.  They dug up our front yard.  Now we have grass there.
The only problem is that it is a little steep to park there.

Then there is the back yard.  Jon's parents have been working like crazy back there.  I did help to get this crappy chicken wire out of there.  I have to say the back fence looks a whole lot better.

There were a ton of trash bags from this past weekend.  This is a shot from the house.

Here is a close up.

And here is a shot of how much nicer the back yard is looking.  A whole world of difference from what it was before.

And finally with all of that crazy ass wind last weekend our gazebo thing flew apart.  Jon said that a piece of it was hanging in the pool!



That's all I got for now since I am hungry and dinner is almost ready. :)

Delays

Sadly there is no fence in our yard yet.  Due to the rain we recently had they had to push our date back to the 11th at the earliest.  Yes you read that correctly, the earliest.  I am sad to say the least.  BUT, we are still going to be getting a fence.

I am slowly working to organize the last remaining boxes, odds and ends.  It is difficult because I have a desire to get rid of things but some just don't want to be tossed yet.  Slowly.  That is my plan.  If I give myself time to think about it enough I may just decide to get rid of it.

I have some photos I took this morning of the huge yard trash pile that Jon's parents (and Jon) have cleared out of the yard.  (I'll try to get those up tomorrow).  My biggest contribution was to remove the chicken wire from the back part of the fence.  It made the raking so much easier.

Well I am off for a quick walk before my girls night.  I must win my diet competition again.  And you know get healthier too.
