Our New $10 Fence


In our little plot of land, I have been juggling the last few months putting up temporary fences around newly planted seeds to deter our lovely dog Diego from interfering with the dirt and seeds. It has been an obstacle course and I am constantly tripping over one of the little fences or the hose is getting stuck in one of them. Recently I found an old picket fence gate we had and a couple of extra pickets, so I thought it would be a great idea to build a proper gate fence. My husband had just returned from a two week long business trip, so on Saturday morning I gave him his first project on my "honey to do" list...to build the gate and fence. Fortunately we had extra wood, all I needed to buy was 4 extra pickets and gate hardware. Here is a shot of our new gate, much thanks to hubbie! Just painted it white a few days ago and officially put our homemade sign on the gate. All of the temporary fences have come down, no more Diego in the farm (poor Diego, this was initially going to be his dog run), lots more space to plant new crops now and I cant wait to get started.
