Well... I said I'd give you a Sneak Peek at the new front fence last night eh?
So I will... gimme a minute.
ABOVE: All hands on deck to get the posts and rails painted/stained.
AND there is Steve, about to put the first pail on ! We worked till 5 pm putting about half the pails on.
Today we will finish cutting, staining and putting the rest on.
ABOVE: Here is your SNEAK PEEK!
Nice eh? lol
Bet you are wondering what the hell we are doing. Well... I saw a fence picture on Google ages ago, and decided to do my own variation on it. So, not a totally original idea, but how I've done it ... is.
IT'S NOT A NORMAL FENCE.... and you will have to wait till it's completely done before you see all of it!
Oh and... you are either going to LOVE IT, or HATE IT. I don't think there will be any in between. *smiles*
So... we will be busy doing that again today... might not be back till much later.
ONWARD...
3.24 pm: And we have finished the fence. Steve and I started painting pailings at 7 am... and we all finished working on the fence at 3.05 pm.
Lacy came around midday and did some painting too.
Photos:
ABOVE: Everyone who has worked on this fence is there, except me... cos I'm holding the friggin camera. lol
ABOVE: And there she is. Our monster fence. Double sided, funky as, certainly not NORMAL.
And there is a gate on the left hand side, not that you would know it just by looking.
We all LOVE IT.
ABOVE: Lacy took the little video for us. We are very proud of this fence.
And I'm so happy I decided to go with my idea.
ABOVE: THIS was the fence I got the idea off... as you can tell, I did a bit more than that!
7.26 pm: And another day is done and dusted. Everyone is knackered again!
Dinner was courtesy of Steve tonight. He cooked sausages and bacon, and we had them on bread. A really easy dinner tonight.
Catch ya tomorrow, when they will be making the pool fence I think.
So exciting watching everything come together. Happy New Year 🥳 cheers Glenys, Austraila

I saw one on the net a while ago and thought of your dogs.
Ha ha ha! But no. "Smiles". Good guess though.
DeleteNow you've got me curious!! Just make sure it's still a legal pool fence (ie not climbable with those holes). You are such a tease.... !!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you and yours - the energy to get things done, amazes me. Well done all of you. Happy new year, hope its everything wonderful 2019 wasn't. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI love it, it suits your family and your personality. It is funky and different and you. Well done family! xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the fence.
ReplyDeleteIt's very groovy. I love it 😍
ReplyDeleteVery cool fence. I’m surprised there’s no blue on it.
ReplyDeletePutting anything on it would detract from it's quirkiness. I was going to put the house name on it, but have changed my mind about that too. The name will go somewhere else.
DeleteI LOVE your fence. It is very creative, very "Chris", it fits the "Rusty Bits" theme down to a tee! Great job to the whole team. Well done guys!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Perfect! You all worked so hard and it's just lovely.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, all the best to the family. Well you certainly have done a great job settling in. Fence looks good.
ReplyDeleteLove the fence!
ReplyDeleteFun fence! Perfect for you!
ReplyDeleteThe fence looks fantastic. Happy New Year to you all. You have been working so hard!! Did Lacy mistake her leg for the fence??😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteHa ha... No. Her brother Steve did it. We all got a bit slap happy with the paint ... Lacy also went home with some in her hair. Luckily it's just a stain and comes off/out really easily.
