It's Done!!

Afte two months of dealing with this project/headache, our fence is finally DONE!! I just thought I'd post some pictures of the great job Jared did with it. Too cheap/smart to hire someone out to move the fence for us, Jared moved the fence on the North side of our house all by himself. It was a big task, with quite some mishaps along the way, but I think the final product is WONDERFUL. Because he did it all himself here are some new trades Jared knows how to do:
*Dig Fence posts (he had help from two friends with this trade but now knows it down pat)
*Fix broken sprinker pipes
*Move entire section of sprinkler system
*Uproot concreted in fence posts (that's right he did it all by hand, no back hoe involved here!)
*Put up new posts and entire vinyl fence!
*Save a ton of money in the process:)
Thanks Jared for all your hard work. Now that our big task is finished we can finally finish the landscaping on that side of our yard. We're hoping for the end of September to be done, we're keeping our fingers crossed! I am so very tired of the sand the kids keep tracking in from there and can't wait for the cement slabs or pavers (haven't quite decided which to do yet) to go down!

BEFORE: This is what the fence looked like when we first moved in last year.
DURING: Here are some pictures of what it looked like just before we went on our trip to Cali. You can see where the old posts remained and the new fence went up.
STILL DURING: That little section you see there with the wire fence was Jared's Achille's heel!! It was such a headache that he had to finish it when we returned from Cali.

AFTER: Look NO WIRE FENCE!! YEAH!! Jared finshed it all this weekend. I think it looks FABULOUS!
I just had to show all sides of the fence that were moved. Here are just a few more pictures from different angles.

Here's what it looks like from the front! Ain't it nice:)

That is so impressive. I'm always so amazed when someone can conquer a project like that and figure it all out step by step. Getting professionals is so expensive, so way to go.
