Fence

It was a thought to put the 2x4 stringers between the posts, but for simplicities' sake, we mounted them flush to the posts...should have used cedar 2x4s...too expensive...posts are cedar...

Hi working on the gate...

Evening of third day from start, all the slats up, and gate too...



Open gate...with three hinges and nice latch...and the surf board, though damaged, is a long board from a famous maker hereabout...if sold, it might pay for the fence!...traded a dart board for it at a swap meet...



Hi and Hanh haven't been able to tend to their plants since the arrival of Maya, my dog...now the area behind the garage is fenced off from Maya, and we can all have gardens and such here now...



Hi and Hanh...much fun making the fence with them!

I still have one little section of cinder block next to the house to raise in height...some holes I found already drilled through the blocks, and tried to do it quick using them...but after three trips to home depot, a back and forth because I just eyeballed things, I still don't have the right bolt lengths...just trying to attach a 1x12 pine board crossways, and then add slats to raise height...to do it right, I should attach two crossways 2x4s, then the slats to them...I have concrete drill bits, and wood drill bits, and left over bolts and screws and such, but nothing comes to mind to make a clean job of it...standing on her hind legs, Maya's, my dog's, nose just reaches the top of this section of cinder block wall...that's too low...so, Maya is still confined to the porch...and currently thrashing around the plastic boxes. full of stuff for weight, I use to block the holes she's eating through the porch walls!...a nightly routine...and she ate through another harness...that's like the fifth...hmmph
