When Eric bought the house, there was a massive stump in the backyard with some grotesque number of rats living underneath (think the rosebush from
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH).
There was also a
chain link fence, cut out around the stump, and generally not in great shape. The first major outdoor projects outside were raised garden beds and a new fence. Eric installed the garden beds the year before last, and built us an awesome fence earlier this year. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have any "before" pictures, but here are a few "during" and "after" shots. Come to think of it, the one on the bottom isn't technically an "after" photo -- it's more a "late-during". Eventually we'll stain the fence, and perhaps add some embellishments on the top. For now, though, it's doing a great job of keeping the chickens in (and semi-hidden) and keeping the riffraff out.
