Next project: New fences - and additional duties for the boys

Over the years we have fixed our oak fences numerous times. Every time we replace the old and fragile oak boards in one area, they start to crumble somewhere else, mostly with the help of a furry guy deciding they make good scratching posts.

Finally JP and I decided to bite the proverbial bullet and replace our entire fence lines.  “Ouch!”, says the bank account. And of course, being of the “do it right” mindset we want 4-board fences with round posts, using the famous Kentucky fences as design guide. Double “ouch!”.

On the bright side, we just received the OK from the township – no special building permit needed. So in two weeks the boys will have “fence construction supervisor” added to their job descriptions.
