Three sections were completely rotted out. Spent all day Sunday pulling out old boards and setting new posts. The kids thought it was hilarious watching me get filthy and sweaty. Used up like half a bottle of ibuprofen after but the fence is solid again. Sometimes you just gotta get out there and do it. Feeling like I actually accomplished something this weekend.
That's a solid day's work right there. Three sections is no joke. Kids watching you actually build something is the best part though.
That's a solid day's work. Those rotted sections can be dangerous if kids are jumping on them. Did you end up replacing the boards with pressure treated lumber or went with something else?
Nice! There's something really satisfying about tearing out the old and building something new. Three sections is no joke. My fence needed work a couple years ago and I learned the hard way about letting rot sit too long.
This is the kind of project I love. Setting new posts properly makes all the difference. I learned that the hard way after my first fence installation started leaning within a year. Did you concrete them deep enough to handle the snow load out there?

Nice work getting those posts set. I love a good fence project where you can see the progress at the end of the day. Did you rope the kids into helping or just have them supervise?
