Phase 1 complete

It was back to Menard's first thing this morning for the 10' 2X6s, an extra 5" post and some work gloves and a fence stretcher.

Once back, we nailed up the runners. The bottom rail is 12" at the lowest with 18" between the 3 sets of runners. It looks great!

After storing the extra lumber, we loaded up the gear and hauled it to the east end where we'll start our next phase of this project. We've decided to use our round cedar posts instead of railroad ties, except for the gate. For that we'll use the left over 5" post and the extra one we bought this morning.

We started clearing weeds from the space so we could mark the post lines -- and it started sprinkling. It was lunch time anyway. After lunch it turned into an all out rain. So I changed course and moved upstairs to my latest inside project - painting and carpeting a small bedroom. That's another blog.

It did clear up enough later in the afternoon to pick some more cherries before Bob had to golf. My leg is still bothering me so I had to pass on golf league.
