Our Blue Heeler tore it up and so did the Pitbull we used to have. It's a mess and we had one company out there already but they want $12K and our backyard is SMALL!! It's ridiculously priced. So I had to trace out the design from the other company to hand to this one to get their estimate. Took me a while to draw it.

Why don't you guys just do it yourselves? Nothing like a good day of work!

When you get a company to do this, be sure to post of picture of the finished product.

Because my hubby isn't a handy kind of guy. He spent his childhood playing sports rather than learning the ropes of hard labor. SO, he isn't much help around the house, and well, then there's my pregnant butt. So, we figured we would hire someone to do it for us and see what happens. I already told the hubby, worse case scenario, we will have a contractor build the wooden fences for us, and maybe move around the rock. We can do all the rest. I just don't trust my hubby's craftsmanship with a wooden fence. So, if we can't get anything that's reasonable, we will just hire a fencing company for the fences, and rent equipment to switch around the rock. The other stuff is fairly easy!! I LOVE watching DIY, but I wouldn't be able to do anything until this summer.

I fully say get a fence. No matter how or where you get it. Especially with your kids. Trust me. You won't regret it.

Did you know a human is worth $1,000,000? ( I think. Or somewhere close to that. )

We do have a fence, a wrought iron one but it doesn't go far up enough on the side of our house and makes our backyard REALLY small. The wooden fence will be placed towards the front giving us twice as much backyard. That's where that comes in on one side. The other is going up to make a dog run for our blue heeler. This way he won't tear up our hard work and has an area for himself. But yes, we do already have fences.

Do like you saying, what your going to do, get someone help Hubby with the fence and you can take your time and do the rest yourself it would save you a few bucks.
