I have been in need of a new fence for a long time. The old corral fence had fallen in and was in horrible disarray.
So in-between other things, Terry and I started work on repairing and improving the old corral fence, which separates one of my gardens from the work shop and the old corrals.
The tumbled down jumble of old boards and rotted off posts gradually became new posts and better boards.
Complete with cleaning up all the junk from the junk pile—One pick load to the dump!
I don’t know what it is about us, but we keep stuff thinking we might use it someday. We do use it, but not to the level of the ‘keeping it’.
Then we were done! YAY! I was so happy and pleased with the result. It still has that rustic charm, of which our farm is made of, but is now strong and sturdy. It should last the rest of Terry’s and my life!
Love,
Linda
That is a beautiful fence!!

Fences – a never ending chore on a farm. In cool weather, not so bad. But, stringing barbed wire in August, with heat, ticks and chiggers, and keeping an eye out for snakes: not fun!

We usually try to fix fences in February…but to build fences we must do them in March when the ground is thawed. Never fun.

Very lovely fence. I like the rustic look. Whenever I throw something away, I need it the next day.

It looks great! It seemed like it was done in a flash. How long did the cleanup and fence rebuilding actually take?

Great looking fence! We make repairs too and say to each other perhaps it will last the rest of our lives! Soon your gardens will be blooming. Have you ever thought about trying some morning glories along the fence:)

I love Morning Glories and have them along the archway by the kitchen. I will think about them for that area. Thank you for the suggestion! 🙂
