After deciding to get a puppy we both knew that the fence wouldn't be up to the task of keeping him in, see for yourself..
Its pretty run down, in fact the gate barely works, We never closed it until we got Bilbo.
We are also removing the gravel from the backyard and putting grass back down, and so while the old fence was down I wanted to back the truck in there and tip off a load of topsoil - save barrowing it all through the gate. I also brought our 3 tonner down to remove the old concrete plinth under the existing fence. It was pretty cool having an excavator in a unit block driveway.
On a side note, when the Foxtel tech installed the dish on the roof he left a full tube of silicon up there, I had been thinking at some stage I’ll get it down, this seemed like a good solution.
Unfortunately the Saturday we picked to put up the new fence turned out to be a scorcher, so it made the job twice as hard as it should have been, it also took considerably longer.
Some progress shots.
