Deer, Deer, everywhere... we must keep them out..

Tim's has been working for quite a few weekends now on deer proofing our half acre. We happen to live in deer central and if we want flowers of any kind we need to put up a very tall fence.

Tim originally built the fence in the back thinking we weren't going to try to keep the deer out of the back yard - the purpose was to keep the dog in.. Well, after weeks of thinking about it we decided instead of splitting the yard in half we would build up the back fence so that the back and one side would be deer proof.

This was taken when they first cleared our lot. The deer were here before we were.


Some pictures of the deck and pergola in progress.... The roof isn't finished yet. Tim has one more cross beam to put up and then another sheet of lattice and then the fiberglass goes on top to keep the rain out. Having a solid cover on this pergola will be great. Once we get an outside heater we will be able to sit outside in the evening and really enjoy the outdoors.

The next few pictures are the beginnings of my garden.. The deer did find the garden since this picture was taken and have munched on a few plants... bring on the fence....
Don't you just love the color this time of year. Cheers me up everyday when I walk around the corner.

The garden beds will be rustic looking to go with the property. The next few pictures show the great fence Tim has been building. It is 7 feet high... Tim the tool man standing in front of his masterpiece. ha ha
