DIY Security: What did you do today?

[Irving]

Couple of quick pictures of the fence I finally got up. I like it because you can't just waltz into the backyard now without opening the gate. Wife and kid like it because now they can get a dog. Not enough of a project to warrant its own thread. However, a la Sharpienads, I did repurpose some wood out of my attic for the archway thing on top. I had to have my neighbor plane it for me. I'd take closer pictures of the top arch, but one piece broke off while installing, and I used a router without a guard around the edge. So it looks like I used a router without a guard...
Neighbor's fence was already there. I just built it to look pretty much the same as his.

One side of house. That bush is gone now.




Other side of the house. Plan to fence in the rest of the backyard along that old chain link fence at some point. That grape vine scaffolding is gone now as well.




Gate on first side. Have an idea for a more discrete way to open the gate from the outside, just need to find the time to do it. Also thinking about switching to a self-centering latch already.






Because the fence sticks out past the house, the light shines onto the back side of the gate, leaving me able to see the silhouette of anyone coming down the side of the house.
