carnage transformed

The last time you saw our backyard, it looked like this.


While I was getting operated on, hub was busy being general contractor [so to speak] and got the fence done.



The two guys he hired were fabulous and did all the work in less than a week. I'm super impressed, and now just have to wait a year for the wood to weather so we can stain it. A nice sky blue, I think. I'm starting to mentally choose fruit trees, fruiting shrubs and other things to soften the look and make it more lovely to hang around in, but for now, at least we don't live in an urban prairie with zero privacy.

More pics at Flickr. This post brought to you by the people who don't want to hear about health crap any more, and by Vasil, the nice Ukranian fence dude. :-)

Also, DENNY MAKES THE BEST LASAGNA EVER. Thank you, Denny! Please send more!

Wow, great fence! I love the end caps.

Fruit trees? I don't know if they ship to CA, but try www.starkbros.com. My dad has bought apple, plum, cherry, and peach trees from them for at least 20 years and they're great. They even replace your tree if it dies during the first year. I'd personally go for some peach. Good right off the tree, good for cobbler, ice cream. Great, now I'm hungry.

I'm green with envy of having a husband that does something &/or sees to its getting done.

Much good wishes in your GB surg recuperation. At times there can be discomfort from gas; really annoying. Try anything that helps you relax your muscles so gas will move along the way. Also, not unusual to have the sensation of a "hurry call." Do hurry to the loo. All this evens out & settles down; for some sooner, for others later.

Glad to hear you're feeling better. I've been through a 3am GB diagnosis as well. Time will heal. Great looking fence.

Why are new fences so exciting? I remember getting mine and I was ecstatic. I referred to the Fence Dudes as artisans. The Fence Dudes is their real name. :)
