The New Fence

We had ordered the fence panels last week and set aside this weekend to put them up. It logically follows that during the morning while doing the easy work of removing the old fence the sun shone beautifully. By the time we started putting the new fences up the skys had turned black.

Though I didn't mind working in the rain even I came inside when I hear claps of thunder, I didn't like the idea of standing atop a metal ladder, hammering in fence posts, during a thunderstorm.

The other problem with braving the elements to put the fence up is that my helpers (Barbara and Seth) didn't want to get wet and kept dissapearing inside when it rained. Hopefully, if the weather is better tomorrow, I'll straighten the panels up a little.

Looking at Google Maps for the old house now, from the discoloration it looks like the original fence I put up in 2001 is still standing, it also looks like the tree in my original picture was not kept pruned back and has somewhat taken over the top end of the garden. There must be no light coming in to the back of the house?
