My last post was a dud... it didn't like my long list of pictures!
Well I had a very cold, tiring and productive day! As part of one of my Construction Engineering classes, we were to take part in a service learning project - aka, a construction based volunteer job. So my group and I opted to build a privacy fence for the back of a battered women's shelter. A few of us started yesterday ripping up the existing fence and locating any utility lines going thru the area. And then today, bright (rainy) and early (9AM) we started our 10 hour day of finishing the project. Here are some pictures! Everyone loves pictures.
All in all, it was about 85 feet of privacy fence costing just over $500 in materials. We wanted to do about another 30 feet on the other side of an existing fence, but just couldn't get enough money to pay for it. So we had to leave the chain-link fence there and patch a hole. It was definitely a cold, but good day over all. At the end, a lady that works there (I presume) came out and thanked us quite enthusiastically!
Due to the nature of the site where we were working, we're not allowed to take pictures of the building nor of surrounding buildings... which is why all the following pictures are aimed low!
It turns out, I didn't even get a good shot of the whole fence to show you all how long it was! Just bare in mind that the short part was about 10' and the long part was about another 75'!
