Privacy Fence and Pergola

What a day to begin, the sun was shining and the temperature was in the seventies. An awesome day granted by God.
We have a train, a garden train. We live by a park and we needed to keep our backyard private. This is just another designed by "Tony" project.

The posts were the first to be set and then the fence appeared piece by piece and sections.
This was quite a project!
Benjamin assisted with the staining of the lattice which proved to be a time consuming and back breaking job. He worked hard, very hard and I wish I could put some pictures of him on this post but alas, we did not take any. We grilled steaks, sweet white corn, and mashed potatoes as a reward for his labor. The entire project took six weeks to complete but was well worth it. Much of the staining and cutting of the boards was done prior to the actual construction stage.
One month for the staining alone. Three gallons of stain and lots of sweat by Ben and me. We took a vacation break halfway through construction. This is the finished project! Success, it provides privacy and is absolutely beautiful.
