Some "Before" Pictures

Hello again everyone! I figured I'd better listen to ol' Matt and take some pictures before Darcy goes crazy with this whole fence-building project. Some I had already taken, so here they are!

This is a view of our front porch, which we'll be saying "bye-bye" to very shortly. It's so old now, starting to sink in the ground. We'll be tearing it right off and replacing it with a new step, (not as large), and some nice landscaping along the front. I can't wait, it's such an eyesore right now.

Here's a view of the backyard, with the old fence still intact. Notice the side of the house, very plain! There will soon be a deck there, and the window closest to where I'm standing (the kitchen window), is going to become a door leading out onto the deck.

Here's a view of the walkway into the backyard, we are building a gate attached from the house to the shed. That way the whole yard will be completely enclosed, we get privacy and our dogs get full run of the backyard.

Another view of the yard, with that old ugly fence! UGH!

Darcy decided to cut down one of the trees, it was in the way of where we want the fence to go. You can see Darcy in the middle of the branches...


Here's the tree much later on.....very interesting huh? LOL


Tonight Darcy brought a torch home and cut down the old metal fence. Here's a view from the street. I'm so glad it's gone! That huge pile of sand was dropped off today. It's gonna be used for mixing concrete. Tonight, after the fence was tore down, Darcy, Kim and I walked around the yard with a measuring tape and bright orange spray paint. Darcy marked the spots where he and Scott will dig the fence post holes tomorrow night. Friday we'll set the posts in concrete, and Saturday will be deck-building day! Can't wait! Stay tuned ...
