Good fences make good neighbors

So our yard was not fully fenced, and the neighbor's fence is just chainlink.  This meant that Rogue could get out and run around in the street, and also that she could not focus enough to actually go potty.  So we put a fence in.  This is what our yard looked like before, looking into the neighbor's yard:

Mitch dug some post holes.  I wish I had a video of him pantomiming a postholer to a guy at Lowe's to ask where they were. 

One thing about putting in a fence: mixing concrete by hand hella sucks balls.

And then fence posts.  Fenced back yard! 

And here are some lovely pictures of the gate Mitch built on the other side:

Now that we can let Rogue out without worrying she'll run into the street or get hurt by the neighbor's big dogs, we can get to the business of the rest of the remodel.
