Packer Game!

On the Sunday of Veteran's Day Weekend Diana and I went up to Green Bay to go to a Packer's game with our friends Greg and Erin. Erin's parent's live about half a mile from Lambeau Field so it was great to "tailgate" there and then walk to the game. It was a beautiful November day and not too cold with a noon start time. The outcome wasn't great since the Packer's lost, but it was a fun game and we hope to get up for more games.

New yard and fence

The last project we wanted to tackle outside was the backyard. The terrain sloped to our neighbor making several feet of the yard unusable. The yard also lacked any kind of privacy as we could look right in our neighbors windows when sitting on our deck. We briefly contemplated doing the work ourselves, but with our busy schedules and the amount of work required, we got a few quotes and got the work started.

Unsightly backyard. Overgrown and unusable.

And no privacy.

I was coordinating the work with the contractors while working out of town, so it was difficult to check up on the work. I set up our webcam to look out the back window so I could make sure nothing was going wrong. It took their crew several days to complete the retaining wall to level the yard. But when it was complete, we had so much more usable space in the back.

The completed wall!

After the wall was complete, we seeded the new soil and then the fence was installed. Now we have a lot more space and privacy, and Cassie loves being left back there... sometimes for hours. I think all of our outdoor projects are complete! for now...

Of course the company we used was called Badger Fence. Go Bucky!
