Now, a week later, I added the Bones, and Planks to the outside. In this section the new fence is almost complete. Now we have to deconstruct the old fence on the other side, and then mount the Planks on the backside of the new Bones.
That sure does look nice considering what a mess it has been for decades. But now we need to finish the new fence, but the old fence is in the way...
The fence is double walled at the moment. The old fence is still attached to the posts. I deconstruct to control the disposition of materials. Hardware get thrown in the recycle bucket. The rotten cedar is just trash, really that bad. Then I find some not so old lumber, previous repairs, that can be reused.
What is neat about this part of the process is that as you pull away the old rotted cedar it reveals the fresh new fence behind it. Its refreshing...
Eventually all the bad parts are gone, and what is left is a nice fresh fence. This is the idea of maintain containment so the yard is safe for Doggos, and keeps the Varmints out...
After the old wood is gone all we have to do is put Planks on the inside of the new Bones. I think I need to get some Gargoyle Post Caps...
