Completing fence construction...for now


There is still much to be done to the detail of the fence but the primary goal of containment has been achieved! If you look carefully in the picture above, you'll see that there is a barrier that encloses the entire 4 feet between the house and the bulkhead.

Above and below you can see just how important containment is to us right now. We are willing to downgrade our envisioned galvenized steel fence to one of stakes and chicken wire. Like we said, the main goal of to keeping the Portuguese maniacs in has been accomplished, so we are satisfied.

Our lower-than-anticipated-quality cross-section does, however, have a very functional gate.

Here the final side of the fence is complete -with the exception of the detail...and the trimming of the posts. It steps down so drastically due to regulations that only allow the fence to measure 4.5 feet in the front of the property. The back portions can measure 6.5 feet, hence the extreme change in height.
