Fence
As you could see in the photos from this post, my back fence was in serious need of repair. Serious. Need. I’m one of those people who if I do one part, I just want to do the whole thing. This is problematic because often the whole thing costs a whole lot and I’m quite poor. I was trying to figure out when I can replace all the fencing on my property because it all needs to be replaced, but this section obviously needed it the most. I kept thinking “next storm, that thing is coming down.” Well, Tuesday there… [Full Post]

I’m exhausted already. My goal is to at least make the backyard somewhat functional for this… [Full Post]
