Privacy Matters

I've probably said this before, but ......
After we finish flying a trip, Ian and I just want to hide out. Escape. We both crave peace and quiet after dealing with all the airport chaos. 

So as you can imagine, one of the biggest factors in purchasing our new home was privacy. We did not want to share any walls with our neighbors, and we did not want a small property line. Well, we got what we wanted - a large chunk of land covered with beautiful trees in a quiet neighborhood. 

However, once winter stripped the trees of their leaves, our backyard became a little too bare. The chain link fence was not giving us the privacy we desired. Plus, it just looked dated. So Ian took down 320 feet of chain link fence by himself. 

After the laborious removal, we decided to hire a crew for building the new fence. The guys did a great job! We now have a 6ft. tall, privacy fence that blends nicely with all the trees in our backyard (we plan to clear out the brush once the weather gets warmer). The crew also added a kick plate to the bottom of the fence for extra height! How thoughtful. 

Now, we love our peaceful, private backyard! We will love it even more this summer.
The Aftermath. This Heavy, Chunky Chain Link Fence Had to GO! 
Thanks a lot Winter, You Left our Backyard Bare!

Our New Fence!
