It’s far from perfect, but at least it’s not a rotted hazard with screws sticking out for the dog to catch her paw on while yeeting herself off the edge.

    Am I dull because I don’t find this dull at all? Congrats on getting after it! Two big medium projects in a row. That’s something!

    Man, woodwork is fucking amazing. My brother is a carpenter (40 years in it and still going) and I used to do stuff with him. It was some of the most artistic shit I’d ever seen.

    Am I reading this wrong? You used planks from the rotten fence? So you used rotten planks? I don’t recommend that.

      Hah yeah it sounds like that. The posts rotted out, and some planks were bad, but a lot could be reused. Also rebuilt most of the fence further into the yard so now there’s parking for three cars off the laneway in the back. New fence and parking, double win!

      The part near the ground will rot way faster than the rest of the fence. Like a hard cheese you can just cut that off and use what’s left
