The big wind that
did this to a wedding photo shoot ---
--also snapped
several fence posts and took out a section of our fence.
After removing
the slats, DH discovered there was damage to most of the posts on that side caused
by years of blustery weather.
The posts were
4x4 cedar sunk in concrete.
The guys
used their mechanical engineering to lever and fulcrum the weights out of the
ground--
--and the hand cart to haul them off.
After removing the posts there was a trip to the local building supply store.
New posts were set --
--and new
concrete bases poured.
The guys took a break over the weekend to give the cement time to cure.
On Monday DH put the slats back up. Later Beavis came to help with the gate.
In spite of all
that damage, only one slat was broken.
The guys will replace it with a new one after they get back from their
fishing trip.
Priorities, you
know.

There's always something needing to be fixed. It would never do, to be bored, you know! :)

Guys love to do guy stuff. More power to 'em.

love love the wedding shot!
The wedding photo is GREAT!!
We've got a few boards off ours as well....anybody want to come over and help fix it?
Glad there wasn't too much damage. Our fence on one side bears the brunt of the wind and two areas went wobbly-leany last year. Was fun watching the guys do their stuff :)
The picture of the bride and groom is fantastic! What a wonderful memory.
They're always happiest when there's a project that needs doin'. Especially one that requires a trip to a building supply store.
you are really lucky, you know. I have been waiting for a fence since Erik was seven years old- he is now 26...You get a fence AND fish !!!
I hope they caught LARGE ones!!! You are lucky only one slat was broken.
