Fence Demolition

In 1977 when we bought our house there was an existing brick fence around the little 8 x 30 strip of lawn. In 1982, Dan tore out the crumbling brick fence and put up a wooden fence. We have a photo of Jay helping his dad "build" the fence all those years ago. He was 2 at the time.

So, 28 years have passed and we felt that we could no longer ignore that fact that we needed a new fence. We were a lawsuit just waiting to happen! If you leaned on the fence it would fall. Over the years, Dan has reinforced it with stakes, 2 x 4s and other clever means of support. The reason we did it now was because of the recent winter storms that finally blew down part of the fence that

was attached with our neighbors. Is this just awful or what?

Now we have a beautiful new fence that is sure to last another 28 years~long after Dan and I are dead or don't care anymore. I doubt if we would even own the property then. Guess you could say we have gotten our money's worth so far!
