The remains of an old wire fence are carried out to the street. City of South Bend Workers and equipment were in action all day, removing refuse from all the Rebuilding Together event homes.
One of the first jobs of the day was to tear down and remove a wooden privacy fence from the back yard.
Meanwhile. several people started removing the screen/storm combination units in preparation for needed work on the wooden double hung windows.
The wooden windows (orginal to the home) had cracked glazing removed, the paint scraped, and fresh glazing coupound applied - to seal out drafts. Then the screen/units were replaced.
It had been the original plan to paint the windows as well, but the conditions made that impossible.
In the back yard, old clothesline wire was removed from the poles, and new wire was strung in it's place. The poles were scraped - for painting at a future date.
This group was so enthusiastic about getting the cable tight, that they snapped part of a turnbuckle in their zeal. But a replacement was obtained - and the mission was accomplished.
Time for Lunch
Erecting the new privacy fence was time consuming and a bit complicated. Here the Notre Dame "fencing team" posses after placing the first panel.
Now, nearly complete, the view of the new fence from the alley.
The finishing touch...A gate is designed, constructed and hung. And the work day is completed.
