Photographs of the pest-resistant cage I built in my back yard. Before the cage, birds and squirrels ate all of my blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes, and sweet corn. It worked great except that yields were low due to increasing shade over the years. So I’ve converted it into a chicken run.

The chicken wire fence was nice while it lasted, but my dogs ran into it on occasion and so did I. It needed to come down. Time to build a fence (for the first time). It was easier than I thought. Home Depot trip: 8x 2x4x10 lumber 96x 1x1x3 lumber 1 box of 4" screws 1 box of 3" screws 1 measuring tape (my old was needs some help) Hardest part of the project (but definitely not the longest) was to get all the wood in my little car. I made one section at a time by cutting the 10 footers to length and putting on the rungs every 5.5 inches apart. The top lines up with the top of the 10' piece and the bottom 10' piece is at the 2' mark. Use the 3" screws. Next time, I want some knee pads and better music because this putting on rungs an measuring it out was really time consuming. Then I ripped out the staples and chicken wire an attached the fence with a bunch of 4" screws. I did one section at a time to make sure the dogs stayed out of my garden. Several hours later I had them all in, so I did the gate too. Viva la... garden fence. Lessons learned: Hand saws are my enemy, borrow something more electric. Count better next time, I have 14ish extra rungs. Use bug spray when working at night. (Here's how I did the lattice and garden)

Hey doodz, remember last year when we got our new fence installed? (Part 1, Part 2) Well today I wanted to share with you how it be lookin’ one year later. I’ve stained it since the last time we talked about it. I decided to go for a dark brown stain (semi-transparent chocolate by behr), and I really like it although staining was a total bear of a job. It took me 5 gallons of stain, many, many, M A N Y hours, and tons of slivers. It was worth it, although if I ever had to do it again I would seriously consider hiring it out. What can I tell you about staining; it’s a pain, it’s hard, and slats are dumb. I used a brush because I wanted the color to look variegated and dimensional, so some of the slats had 3 heavy coats of stain and others had 2 lighter coats – it all took a lot of time and effort but I’m really happy with how it all turned out. Just to give you some idea, I began this staining project last fall and finished it at the end of April. It was a big project and took an enormous amount of time – I better like it. To refresh your memory, we previously had a dated chain link fence with green plastic slats – not a pretty backdrop for the garden vibes we were going after. Last spring we had installed a horizontal cedar slatted fence. We had added a 4′ fence on one side of our yard, and a 6′ privacy fence on the other (can you tell which neighbor I don’t like?). We added gates to both sides of the house, and a big gate in the back opening up to a concrete slab on the side of our garage. Now that the fence is installed and stained we seriously love everything about the fence! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
