The First Sergeant's lady found an absolute 'steal' on Craigslist, enough cedar split-rail fencing to
build all of those projects we've talked about lately.
One fifth the cost of new lumber, and all delightfully weathered over the past fifteen years.
Bright and early this morning , The First Sergeant and favorite son-in-law, loaded up the truck and trailer and headed out to collect the 'goods', and before noon this was the result.
The first sections have been installed, and as the days progress, we'll be installing more.
We added a barnwood birdhouse
The Morning Glories are still blooming their little hearts out.

Wow, this blue beauties are awesome. Are you going to show the progress of this fence? I look forward to it!
Congrats on getting your fencing, Jo... I'm so happy for you ---and I know you will love it.
Love that last picture of your little helper too... ha
The Morning Glories are gorgeous...
Hugs,

Such a lovely fence. There is nothing quite as nice as reclaimed wood. Looks great on your property.

The fence looks wonderful and the little ginger helper is too cute for words!
I love those morning glories. There is such charm in an old fence, I'm sure you will enjoy it. That little Ginger munchkin is a darling. Hugs, Deb =^..^=x5
I always enjoy your beautiful pictures. I stopped by an English shop on Friday and enjoyed browsing. It's nice to find a little bit of "home" when you're far away which is how I feel when I visit your blog.

What a lovely fence and so lucky to find it all ready that beautiful colour.
Your helper looks a bit like mine.
Love the photo's,your flowers are still looking so fresh and colourful,ours have all gone now and the garden is looking very drab.
Good luck with the fencing,sounds like hard work.
Wonderful photos ! fences are strangly wonderful to photograph . Love your morning glories. We have had to cut ours back they were truely taking over our gardens, they grow fast and their vines are very strong.
Score! What a great find and just exactly what you wanted. To have the fencing already weathered is just the cherry on top! You can't buy that look at any store.
Love the beautiful flowers! You take the best photos, as usual.
Hugs!
It looks great and those morning glories are just beautiful. It is 4 days until the best part of the year.

Beautiful photos! Your fencing is a wonderful find.
Just beautiful. You will greatly enjoy all including remnants of a still.
I mean "steal" not "still" as in moonshine still. :-)
What a lovely fence, and, it came complete with a birdhouse! That was surely a lucky find. Your ginger helper is a cutie pie. Look at that long tail, carried straight up in the air!
oh WOW, you beat me to it! We've been searching Craigslist for cedar fencing too. It looks fabulous, as do the Blue Morning Glories. Nothing says Tennessee like cedar fencing, it always looks wonderful against our lush green backdrop, doesn't it? Nice job First Sergeant!
The 'new' fence really looks great. I know this involves a lot of hard work, but the results are going to be gorgeous.
What a lovely blogsite!!! I am new at this and feel so blessed to have come across your blogsite. Your pictures are gorgeous and I feel like I'm in England. I've always wanted to visit England and through your posts, I feel like I am there. Thank you so very much!
