Well, it seems that we give off vibes of some sort to our neighbours when they choose individuals to build fences...
A couple months ago, Rob and I went to introduce ourselves to our backdoor neighbours, and to discuss putting a fence up between our back yards. Our neighbours were very amenable to the idea, in fact, they had already made arrangements for a fence, but were waiting for the backfill and sod to be delivered. This happened in early July. It looked so much nicer having grace in their yard instead of dirt and weeds! Of course, our yard looked quite a bit better then than it does now too!
Rob and I were camping July 17-21, and I was really hoping to come home to a finished fence. I was quite happy to see fence posts when we came home, as that is a good start for any fence! We don't know exactly what day the posts were put in, but let's say it was July 19.
Well, then on July 24th, the guys came back and spent the better part of the day pouring more concrete for the deck/hot tub. They also put in one little board between each fence post. You can see that in the picture below. And yes, that's me; I'm picking beans. We have many, many beans.
However, since July 24th, there has been no activity on the fence. I realize it is only about 16 days since the fence posts were installed, which is a far cry from 303 days, but, call me crazy, I'm a little concerned! Our next door neighbour had a fence put in back in May or June. The posts were put in one morning, and the rest of the fence was finished the next day. So, it is possible to put in a fence in a couple days, but based on our experience, only 33% of fence builders are capable of such a feat!
We continue to wait...

Our ~250 foot fence at 736 took me about 1 week to put up - all by self, about 31 years ago. Boy, was I fast then!
