We finally got a new fence up in August which was something we hoped to have done like 2 years ago.  This project took them 5 days with 2 guys and they did a beautiful job.  It was slightly inconvenient during those days when we had to make sure Buddy on a leash even for a potty break, and it felt weird not having the house being enclosed.  Thus it felt even better when the job was completed.  The fence is 1 foot taller on all sides and it looks great.  We do have one final step, ie. stain the wood later, to complete this big project.
