Our Yard is changing!

Im finally getting the privacy fence I soooo need!! As you can see our yard backs onto a grocery store parking lot. Now we live in a small town and its not that its overly busy or anything but if we are in the back yard we are visible to everyone! This pic is the big pile of stuff we removed from the other side of our yard this past weekend. Its taken facing my neighbours partially built fence.....we like him so we wont be blocking that side just across the back and....
down this side we are putting a shorter picket style fence just to keep people from walking thru! Where you see those cans is where all those old leaves and brush came from. We had to clean it out to start the fence. The wooden box was apparently at one time a sand box.....we pulled it out and it is being moved to another part of the yard as a raised garden.
This is the pile of fence panels delivered last thursday and dropped in the front yard! Im really excited!
This is looking towards the back of the property and down the side that is getting the picket fence(between the trees). And Chance of course was helping. Another look at the area we cleaned out....I see a bench and some flowers in there after the fence is in place!
I hope you all had a good Memorial Day Weekend. It wasnt a holiday here in Canada but I took advantage of the days I did have off and got lots of work done. Lots more to do yet....stay tuned!!

  4. Oh, Hon, you are going to love it. It will be such an improvement and the back yard will become a sanctuary! We are slowly closing ourselves off from nosy people driving by.....

  6. It is going to look great Sis once it is done. No more parking lot view or people walking through your yard. Can't wait to see it when its done.

  7. This will be so wonderful for you when it is all done. You will have your own little world inside the fence.

  8. Yeah, lots and lots of clearing out for us too. I wish we could get a privacy fence. It'll probably be next year before we can get one. But I sure don't blame you... I would want one too! We live in a small town also and everyone already knows everyone's business as it is. I can't imagine my back yard being there for all to see. It's gonna be great when you're done! Good for you!
