Finally Fencing

23 September 2003

It has been exactly 4 months and 1 day since we moved into the new place. While we have got ourselves a new vacuum cleaner, a big fat couch, a sizable deck and a new lifestyle, we have yet to have proper fencing. Correction, we got no fence at all.

That is, until now ...

Site prep for fencing

Professional hole - digger

Yes, this is how proper hole digging is done.

Our fencer is a most elusive man. Does not answer nor return calls. After some prompting in the form of us almost engaging another fencer, we gratefully found the first holes being dug around the boundary - signs of work commencing.

Posts

Further down the track, steel posts & support channels are erected in place. We have quite a huge area to cover, considering.

Progress


The fencer's progress was seriously snail-paced. Please do NOT use him if you happen to be in the region. Contact me for more details.

C - Channel

We specified for timber plinths below our fence for fear of having unruly dogs digging their way into our compound.

Fence Frames

In 4 days' time, the fencer has erected frames all over the title and the sheets throughout except for the Southern boundary.

Colourbond Sheets

We thought that was progress ... until, it stopped. Literally. So now, we are half-fenced. We were left high & dry ...

North boundary - missing board!

For the first time, I'm speechless.

Neighbours

As appaling as it is, deep down, I really couldn't care less. With a great neighbour next door, it just means that we could traipse down his lawn anytime to grab a cold beer, have a chat or ultimately, to borrow some tools when the time comes ... hehehe
