And we knew to set it back from the road and the driveway to allow for piling snow, too.TheMistressThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351037361385585249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837233765712867996.post-54868839497583799412014-05-30T03:11:00.482-06:002014-05-30T03:11:00.482-06:00Beautiful fence!

I don't remember if you had decided to wait on installing the fence for reasons other than saving up for it, but I'd say it worked out well. You were able to experience all the seasons and know about the winter issues and Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593923006256222662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837233765712867996.post-76192496762177423142014-05-05T20:40:42.901-06:002014-05-05T20:40:42.901-06:00Thanks!

I'm skeptical, but even 2/3 of that would be wonderful. We'd never get that with PT 4x4s.<br /><br />I guess because the deer can see and feel the rails easier, they can clear it and not get tangled.

The road runs through the property at about the middle, so that was an obvious divider for our fence. We are really loving the spring this year. We loved it last year, too, but without the same sense of relief since this winter was particularly hard.TheMistressThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01351037361385585249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837233765712867996.post-7833347602175588492014-05-02T11:24:19.714-06:002014-05-02T11:24:19.714-06:00That's a fine lookin' fence, lady!

I'm so happy for you (I guess that means I'm hopelessly grown up too) to have that thing up and done, what a relief that you can just open the door to let the grrlz out for a bit without having to get a leash & shoes & a jacket and go out with them!! I think I can hear angels singing!<br /><br />I don't think having the electric gate Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761111232910207341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837233765712867996.post-46587983552672746822014-05-02T10:33:41.754-06:002014-05-02T10:33:41.754-06:00Wow, it looks fantastic, I'd be excited, too! ...Wow, it looks fantastic, I'd be excited, too! How many acres do you have? Your property and the views are gorgeous, no wonder you wanted to live there, despite the winter inconveniences. I need to live near mountains. <br /><br />~ PeggasusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
