Mark and Clinton have been working on the new fence and it looks just super.  We did not really have a very good idea about what it was going to do to the appearance of the house other than we thought that it would make everything look smaller.  Now that it is starting to go up, we believe it will have just the opposite effect.  It is going to be just beautiful.  I will take a bunch of pictures as soon as he has the whole thing done.  We made one minor change to our original design.  That was to make the enclosed area a little bit bigger.  I think we will leave grass in that area for now with the thought of building a one car garage with an office and a little shop there next summer or the summer after that if we can afford it.
