THE FENCE......IS DONE

Not that any one cares except our neighbors who are probably sick of watching us walk around in our skivvies at night.....It's finished! 160 feet beautiful feet of southern yellow pine #2 structure and cedar pickets. Wonder what it takes?

Try:

• 24 - 4*4*8 posts (and 24 2 1/2 foot deep holes, ugh!)
• 2000 lbs of concrete
• 24 - 1*6 rot boards
• 72 - 2*4*8 for rails
• 300 - premium cedar pickets (at a premium price I might add, second ugh!)
  
• 2200 galvanized screws (we found out why to buy a good drill).
• one marriage made of steel

Cost: we are just in denial and have not added it up, but to have someone install cedar fence starts at $20/ linear foot.

It took longer than anticipated, but we are really happy with how it looks and it's structural integrity. It was a fun project and we learned a lot about wood fence building and cut our costs by a couple thousand dollars. Now on to the next saga.....wood floors....
