Fence with their hands

When we bought the land last year, it was an old, a little crooked, but very picturesque and rustic cottage with a "bang" from a girl's grapes. Several times visited the artists to write with his paintings. Despite all the affection with which we treated him to live in it was impossible - a rearing floors, a Russian stove, which occupies almost the whole internal space, that and look to fall. It was clear that we must endure it - nor the strengthening of the foundation, nor the restoration could not help him, he has outlived its time.


The house seemed small, but many had to work hard to make it unintelligible. How many extra left after him. Machine for the debris removal ordered many times to remove all. Old logs and planks were burned, something went for firewood. There were interesting findings, such as iron in the coals. We have kept him - a good element of decor for the fireplace. The stove as possible to understand - brick needed during construction.

Previously, before the house was a rickety, like himself, a fence of netting, surrounded by thickets of wild rose and lilac. A few managed to keep the bushes, and the rest were cut down and cleared the area for a new fence. It was time to put, because bath built in the last year, could no longer be left without a fence.

On the site we were lucky - the neighbors on the right have begun to develop a vacant lot recently and made a dull metal fence. Their site is narrow, all over, like on the palm. Apparently, they wanted as much as possible to isolate from us. We are not particularly saddened, there is more that the fence to get a neat, though his "insides" are addressed to us. The neighbors on the left fence netting, and also along the entire length of our site. And behind us ravine overgrown with trees - in the natural protection.

There's so beautiful that we think or leave this aspect without fences, or put something very light with a wicket in the woods! Thus, our site was fenced on three sides. It remains only to make a fence from the street - the facade of it!





To the construction of the fence, like everything else made in the area, began the head of the family. When I first saw the finished wooden lattice fence, which were dried after painting, I was sure that they purchase.

But what was the surprise when it turned out that they are all hand-cut from the boards! I'll tell you that the fence has turned out very nice and was even marked neighbors.

Above all, he kept in "rustic" style and does not violate the type of street. Since on the site plan to build a house in a fence provided a wide gate - 3 m, each leaf of 1,5 m gate decided to locate the part of fir trees on the site to entry was beautiful.

Pegs and fishing line to determine the line of the fence in terms of a neighboring site. Without removing the fishing line, make a layout for the posts - every meter, except for the gate and the gate.

Then proceeded to drill holes for pillars. Wells took a deep - 1 pm implement this simple mechanism - brown. When all the wells were dug, unforeseen problems. Despite the fact that the street was the month of August, all wells were filled with water almost to the brim! So we had to build latrines device - a tin can attached to a stick and bailing. Of course it is slow work, but this experience has gone in our favor. We realized that instead of a columnar base, connected to a ribbon of concrete, which had planned to lay under the house to do tape.



Fence made of boards nestruganoy savings. Whittle board, then cut in the calculation of eight shtaketin on the same footing. Then use a drill attachment to drill holes - an ornament of the fence. After this, ready-assembled fence, nailed to the boards - the foundation of the fence, then everything is beautiful and already prepared panels fastened to the posts. With the help of simple tools could make the fence.

With the new fence, the size plot visually expanded - it now seems much more than before. In addition, the fence was the decoration of the site. I really hope that this variant design of the fence like it and maybe inspire some interesting ideas during its construction.
