Who Builds a House...

...with no access to the backyard?

Within a few days a moving into our house, I was already getting upset about the lack of access to the backyard.  The fence on the one side of the house was built before the man door to the garage, and the other side of the house was left completely open to the front. (After getting puppy, we obviously had to close up the one side, and that was puppy-proofing weekend a while ago.) If we were out in the backyard, you had to go all the way through the house to get anything from the garage...total pain in the arse. Well, as of yesterday? Momma got her wish! Woot woot to the gate!

My BIL used to work construction and is quite handy when it comes to building, so with a “will work for beer and dinner” contract, hubby and him got to building yesterday.

It is a “custom” job, made with love and “the riggers way”, but it is lovely and I know will make life a lot easier. Hubby still has to knock down the existing fence at the end of the deck (today's job), and them some stairs, so stay tuned on the progress. For now...look at our lovely gate!

(I’m standing on the deck where the old fence was.)

Cheers!
