After building the DIY picket fence last year, I’ve been wanting to make a new covering for the porch swing. It was in the plans last year, but it never happened. We made the pergola/arbor to look like the one that covers the front gate. It’s been years since I’ve really enjoyed this swing-I look forward to getting back out there and relaxing.
Oh my gosh guys! I love my white picket fence! Is the yard done? NO. Do I still have more to do? Always! But the fence is done and is finally painted. I took advantage of some cooler weather in early June to really knock out the fence. It took the better part of three…

It’s been a while since I’ve shared an update with you on the fence. We had a couple of snow storms, and some very cold weather, so we took a little time off. We have made some great progress lately with the gates and the arbor (pergola). It’s very exciting, and I can honestly say…
Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe that it’s actually 2016, and I’m excited to tell you that the DIY picket fence is well on it‘s way. Yep, the last picket went in over the weekend. Now, mind you, we’re still far from finished. In order to get the pickets up we tacked them up…
Last week, while talking about my DIY picket fence we left off with putting in the short posts and the very tall arbor posts. The fence is coming along, but with Christmas and some cold and rainy weather, we’re sort of in a “hold” pattern. Some readers have offered some tips on how to make…
I’m back with another picket fence update! Did you know that Home Depot delivers? I didn’t know that until my daughter Jamie filled me in on this little detail. The material was put under the carport to keep it dry. Posts rails pickets for picket fence design I ordered 4×4’s and 1×4’s in 12…
The DIY picket fence story continues today with more prep work for the new fence. I really had no idea how much vegetation had to be dealt with along the fence line. Some of it, of course, was obvious. Like this Rhododendron that has been growing through the fence for years. I dug and…
If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you know I’m tackling a huge DIY project at my home—removing a chain link fence and replacing it with a DIY Picket Fence! It has been on my to-do list for several years, and I just can’t put it off any longer. First, I’ll share a…
