Fence Pictures

We finished up a couple of odds and ends today in preparation for a well deserved vacation.

We posted pictures of the Mellblom fence on our website.

Done!

We'll post some pics tomorrow, but we finished the Mellblom fence today. Quite a project and one of my favorites!

Gates and such...

Today was all about the fussy carpentry. The inside corner was notched to make the horizontal rails look seamless from outside of the fence. We also finished one of the gates.

Wow!

Paul's design set the stage for an amazing fence. I knew it was going to look good, but Wow! It perfectly compliments the modern horizontal lines of the house. Tomorrow we'll keep putting up the horizontal members.

Power Outage

Today's work was cut short by a neighborhood power outage. You never realize how dependent you are upon electricity until you don't have any. Hopefully everything will be back to normal tomorrow.

Posts!

The remaining lumber finally arrived yesterday, so today we set the last of the posts for the pergola. We will start attaching the horizontal fence members on Monday.

Finally!

It may not look like much to those of you who don't appreciate quality lumber, but this was almost enough to bring me to tears (of joy!). 275 pieces of clear vertical grain cedar 1x4. Beautiful doesn't even come close to describing this lumber. You truly do get what you pay for (that's about $4000 of lumber!).

With all the lumber finally here, we will proceed with setting the remaining posts tomorrow.

Mellblom Fence

With lumber delivery issues galore, we haven't been able to move forward as fast as we would like on this project. We sent back over half of the original lumber order to be replaced (it wasn't high enough quality to be used on one of our projects). We now have all the fence posts set and are waiting on the delivery of the posts for the pergola.
