The fence panels are up (see the original post here and inspiration board here)!  I am SO excited about this and so happy that Mr. Lemon and our handy friend (THANK YOU!) were able to accomplish this feat. Our driveway connects to our neighbor’s driveway (a “double wide” if you will) and much of our backyard is open to it, leaving us will very little privacy when trying to enjoy our backyard privately.  And although we LOVE our neighbors (see this post), we do like dining al fresco without feeling like we’re eating in our driveway!

This first photo is one of my favorites, as the guys seem to be trying to figure out what to do with all of these “parts.”  hehehe

Success!!!

Now for some before and after shots of the space:

We decided to add some Dwarf Alberta Spruce trees to soften the area and add some green to the view in the winter.  And we actually think we’re going to add one more panel to the end (the look Mr. Lemon gave me when I suggested this was nearly lethal), as they don’t come as far down the driveway as we’d like.  But, I’m still so happy with how they’ve turned out and definitely feel like we’re making progress towards our backyard entertaining space!
