THE CARPENTER AT WORK



THE WISH LIST

A BACKYARD FENCE

PUT IN A REQUEST TO THE CAPRENTER

That's all it takes


The post holes have been dug
Now comes the first of
35 bags of cement



Mix up that cement



In goes the cement to secure the fence poles
32 in total



450 cedar boards
1800 screws
This is not counting
3 gates



The carpenter with his signatuare hat





I had the job of 'penciling' the pattern





More hands less work
This gal was a great help
and she's good with a hammer too!



As you can see
the fence is starting to take shape





The last piece of cedar is ready
for 2 sets of screws
Two up two down

The carpenter rigged up a
 jig
to make sure each piece of wood was
 EXACTLY
the same difference apart from one another
The carpenter was very particular
He learned that from his Father



The finished product
