Out With The Old......In With The New (Fence, that is...)

 

Ever since I can remember, I've been looking at this fence in the back yard.  It was in two sections, one wood, and the other chain link.  It was right next to the pool and spa.  Ugly doesn't even begin to describe it.

 

 

The wood section had a block wall under it, part of which could have easily been 75 years old.  When we were going to finally get the wood fence replaced, the workers noticed that in a 24 foot area, the wall was about to fall down.  It moved quite a bit when you pushed it.

 

 

Needless-to-say, this part of the block wall had to be replaced.  What was to be a one day fence repair was now going to take four days, and an additional contractor came on the scene.

 

 

When you replace sections of block walls and have to match the other sections, it's not easy, but luckily we had a great team working on it.

 

 

The fencing contractor and the block wall contractor turned out to be related (hmmm), but they worked very well together.

 

 

The wood fence was looking good.

 

 

And, the block wall matched the old wall very well.

 

 

The wood fence was then placed on top of the wall.  You may notice a small gap at the bottom of the wood fence, but they fixed that nicely and now you can't even tell it's there.

 

 

I'm thrilled with my new fence.....now I think I have to look into drought resistant plants, because everyone in the State of California has to use 25% less water than they did in 2013.
