Expanding

For the record, I am not talking about the size of my stomach even though the words huge and ginormous could apply to it as well. We just completed, with the help of a local fence builder, an expansion of our backyard. When we moved in we always said at some point we would put up a new fence as a safety precaution. Our house backs up to an alley that people seem to think is an interstate with the corresponding 65 mph speed limit.


A not so good shot of the before from last summer--it does show how the yard was divided though

The new backyard--we (meaning Jeremy of course) still have to remove the old sidewalk that ran alongside the chain link fence. The new sandbox will be here Friday and sometime in the next 6 weeks we will have the swingset. No, it isn't that grand of a set, there is just going to be a slight delay in construction since the job foreman will be busy elsewhere.

On the other side of the house we pulled the fence out to the edge of the house instead of where it was located.
