So in picking the next section of fence to work on I usually go to the worst section first. The one that needs the most help gets the first attention. This section was very rotten at the bottom, the pickets, and lowest runner were falling apart.
This is the East Fence I am working on now, by the garden. This section has had scrap lumber piled up against it which helped the lower part rot. I added some support posts in this area a long time ago, then went to work on other areas. Now those other areas are reworked it is time to fix up this section. Both of the old posts for this section were rotten as well. I was able to clean out the post slugs a little to hold a solid Cedar posts temporarily. I replaced the rotten runner, and put new planks on this section.
This is an effort to strengthen the fence so that I can use it to hold the new posts when I am ready to set them. This part is a little backwards. I am repairing the old fence in order to hold the new posts when I set them. After the new posts are set then I'll replace all the runners and planks. Dior is very curious about the new view into the neighbors side yard. There are critters over there she wants to chew on...
