When we moved in, we figured we had a few years on the fence. The last wind storm really put the hurt on the fence, though, and it was starting to pull apart. We decided it was time to replace the fence.

Wide Angle
This is a 'stitched' picture (using Windows Live Photo Gallery, which is free from http://get.live.com) of my back yard. I still have a lot of work to do, but its coming along

The Shed
The shed ends up being a great addition, I think.

Falling down
Some of the fence segments pulled apart, and a couple of the posts broke in the last wind storm. I patched it up a bit, but it was looking pretty bad

Back yard
Another view of the back yard, mostly for 'before and after' pictures. The little guy is starting to really enjoy it back there, which is great!

The Yard
The grass is now mostly grass... it was an assortment of varying kinds of flowers, but in a couple of summers, its looking pretty good, I think.

Old Growth
Here's a close up of the fence, showing some growth, and rot. The boards are all basically ready to fall - some of them have already, and I've put them back up, but the wood is so rotted on some of them that they're not held on by very much

The Reverse Wide Angle
Here's the reverse-angle 'stitched' panarama view of the back yard

Warped and wobbly
The fence, at one point, was pretty strait, I'm sure... but now its a wobbly wall, just waiting for a reason to fall over

Shifty
Along the back wall, its the same story. The flood really softened up the ground, and the poles are loose.

Very loose
This whole section wobbles with a slight push, and you can see where the sections are coming apart.

More old growth
Along the top of the back portion of the fence

Falling over
This section has a broken post, and is only still standing because the trees are holding it up.

Side
Here's the side portion, from the front yard. Lots of these boards have fallen off during recent storms, and I've put them back up, but they're not holding on by much. This is for an 'after' view.

The other side
Here's the other side fo the house. Several boards have fallen along this section also

Exterior view
Here's looking along the fence line from my neighbor's point of view.

The Gate
The little guy is opening the gate. Hopefully, before too long, this will all look much better!
