Project #1: the fence

Most of the backyards on our side of the street are opened, which is very nice: it gives a feeling of being in a big park. On the other hand with Madeleine and Viktor running around constantly, we had little choice but to close it with a fence. I found the estimates that the local companies gave us way too expensive. And they were taking too much time to come down to our place to actually do the work. So I set up to do it myself. Here is the result.

It's not actually finished at this point. The posts need a second layer of paint. And I'd like to cap them with something pointy that drains the water away and masks the (not always so) slight height differences :-) There are also a few gaps to fill - Madeleine and Viktor manage to slip through today. And the gate is still a work in progress.
