The Fence is Up! The Fence is Up! The Fence is Up!

It's been a long process but it is FINALLY done! It may have taken four years to get to this day but that doesn't matter anymore because Kaitlyn and Kiera finally have a safe place to play. Last week was one of the hottest, longest, most miserable weeks. Jim and I went up there on day one and got a whopping 3 posts out of thirty out of the ground in five hours. Which was very intimidating. We waited a few days because we happen to do this on the hottest week. Then Grandma Cheek, Uncle Ryan, Dstin and I went over on a cool 110 degree day and put in 10 hours and got another 18 posts out. Luckily Ronnie showed up after he got off work that day and tried out a method he thought would work and sure enough it really sped up the process. We went from getting one post out every hour to one post every 40 minutes then with Ronnie's method we dropped our average to about 10 minutes per post. THANK YOU Ronnie! Day three Ryan, Dustin and I went back at it with 13 more posts to go and got it out in 3 hours. Kaitlyn's party Sunday... Fast forward to more things you've already read about like Kaitlyn going back to school and yesterday rolls around. Putting it in was a million times easier than taing it out but we also had a bit more help. Thanks to everyone that helped yesterday and today...Ronnie, Papa jim, Mama Sharon, Mama Cheek, James(daddy), Dave, Dillon, Ryan B and Kaitlyn for pushiing all the dirt back in the holes Saturday. Without you all it wouldn't have been possible. THANK YOU ALL! For the rest of yous, come out and check it out, it's pretty awesome...

Installation has officailly begun...Ronnie and Papa Jim working on the first couple holes.


Everything all laid out and ready to go up

  1. What a task. I am glad its done. It was well worth the work it looks Great. You couldn't have picked a better fence it looks great. You deserve alot of credit Jennifer you did alot of work from finding the fence you wanted and you really did alot of work. You are a good worker. The girls I could tell yesterday were already enjoying there new yard. It will give you such a break with all there new 4 wheelers. I Loved just the few minutes when it was done not having to see exactly were they were. It will give you such a break. It looks great and was well worth the time spent. Love Grandma Cheek
