Labor Day Means "Labor"

A "holiday" weekend just means more time to get projects done before winter around our house!! 
 
Jim finished up the side fence along the shed (still needs a picket on the corner so you won't be able to peek in).  This is the final enclosed fence from the earlier posting.  Look how close our neighbors house is on the left!  We even set the fence 6 inches INSIDE the property line on our side.  Building setbacks and codes were never really enforced back when this neighborhood was built.
 
This is the view from our deck.
Jim is starting the demolition of the old fence to again access to the "new" yard.
 
Peeking past his "de-struction" project you can see the "new" yard area behind the shed.
 
So, it's rather hard from the pictures to fully comprehend what we "added" to the yard.  Here's a map explaining it all.  We have added nearly 360 square feet to our backyard.  We are currently working on the other side yard, which will also add more space.
 
More updates to come... after another cup of tea and another day of "Labor".
 
Happy Labor Day!!
