It Only Took 2 Years to Come Up With A Solution...

For nearly 2 years I have had some serious battles over my camper and how to get it in the back yard.  I ended up keeping it at Al the LandScaper's house for about 18 months - I knew that was going to have to end soon.  So I was mowing my lawn and it seriously hit me.  The Idea.  If I could move the fence about 3 feet closer to my house I could pull the camper between Lyon's House and my fence.  I came up with a plan and By God this one was a viable plan...Really!

I needed to use the camper the first weekend of October - Lacy Campout - So I pulled the camper from Al's and rented a storage space for about 45 days... It cost me $93.  I now had a temporary home where I could get to the camper as needed easily.  One problem solved.  I was giving myself till October 31st to get the fence moved over and the camper moved into the Back Yard.  I had 4 weekends to get it done.  Here is the schedule for the Construction:
  1. Lacy Campout
  2. Rained
  3. (Saturday):  Rented Auger - Drilled 4 post holes - Set 4 posts           (Sunday): Manually dug 5th post hole  - set Post
  4. (Saturday):  Sprayed house inside and Outside - Dogs to Groomer  (Sunday): Started moving Sections of fence ended up moving board by board till 9:00pm  (Monday):  got home late from work - nothing (Tuesday):Picked up 25 more pickets - worked on the board placements Till 8:00pm (Wednesday): Pulled old Posts - worked on the fence & cleaning area till 9:00pm.
Finally done enough to get camper thursday night (30th).  It's got some issues and areas that need boards ripped to fit, but I don't have the time just yet - I'm running out of time.


Thursday October 30th - Late - I picked up the camper and finally after some finagling got it in the back yard.  Not parked where I want to keep it, but at least it's here.  Biggest Problem solved... With a day to spare.



I did finally get back to the fence on November 1st.  I cleaned it up really well.  The gaps are filled - the Gate post straightened - all the scrap wood picked up and the dirt leveled out.
