Good fences...






This project took about about 100 hours to complete but was a lot of fun. This is my parents' house in the 1st Ward in downtown Houston. It's probably a little under 300' of fence total in length and the privacy fence part of it was pretty standard but the front part with the metal grid turned out really pretty and I think it frames the great vegetation in the yard and even the house itself pretty well. Copper Canyon Daisies are awesome. My biggest concern about the project was the incredible slope of the landscape and building three gates; one to drive through and the other two are walk-through gates. They all seemed to go up well and hopefully they won't sag too much. It was tough to be away from my family over those 8 days but my folks blessed us in many ways through it and I ate like a king! (PS: without the new dewalt set I'd still be there working!)
