Fence installation!!!!!

I had a five day weekend, and it was all about building a fence. Lucky Me!!!! I should say lucky Derek too!!!

I could have never gotten as far as I did with out my "master craftsman" brother in law Derek. We started on Saturday and I finished one full side (the longest side) on Tuesday. It looks really good.

First, we I rented a augar (a big earth drilling device for you that are not savvy on landscaping tools). It took us about 6 to 7 hours to get 95% of our holes drilled. Not to mention we had to set each post..... That was Saturday.

Second, we started laying the foundation for the cedar slats.... Derek pinched a nerve in his hand, so we had to take it easy. We put up the 16 foot 2x4's (big long pieces of wood). Derek put up a couple of cedar slats and then handed the job to me..... I finished half of the job (one full side) today.

Here are some pictures.....
