WE GOT A NEW FENCE. So. Excited. Sr. and I have a wonderful home…but the yard is janky. Forreal. The owners before us kindly left us the following: chain link fence, completed wooden fence, partial wooden fence, chicken coop (whaat?), brick, flagstone, and all sorts of bizarre fixtures throughout the yard. Needless to say, it needed (still needs) some MAJOR updates. So, we’re slowly but surely attempting to improve it.
Today, we came one step closer to my dream of magical backyard times by installing a new, complete, perfect fence. This may be a (kinda) DIY blog, but we definitely didn’t DIO (ourselves, duh). We’re not quite yet at the huge fence building level of handiness.
New fence!
Yep. They’re going to love it.
Anyway, the pups are happy.I know because Riley peed on it (as close as she could, at least). But really, Riley’s always happy. Unfortunately for her, she can’t climb this one like the chain link we previously had. Yep. That monster actually escaped (multiple times) by climbing the fence. She had a little help from a stump, but still. She climbed it.
What is this face Fin is making? So regal/special. Bless his heart.
Perfect puppy watching seat. Also good for being eaten by mosquitos.
Another plus: We have tons of leftover wood the builders so graciously left. My wonderful sister, Kitten Sorceress, made this AMAZING/practical/perfect bottle opener with salvaged wood:
Obviously, we use it often.
If we didn’t already have one, I would make it. But, she’s awesome and did it first. If you’re interested in making one, here’s a great tutorial.
Not sure what project I’ll do with all my leftover wood, but here are a few ideas I love on Pinterest:
Beer carrier– this looks a wee bit complicated, but I know Sr. would LOVE it. Beer people.
And really ANYTHING at this awesome website (another FunkyJunk Interiors project- this lady is awesome!)
What do y’all suggest? What project should I tackle next?
