Fruit Tree Fencing work continues - Side garden

Continuing on with the fence in the front yard for the fruit trees.
The front section mostly completed. I have the long western side and the gate section remaining to complete.

Toady measured out the four post needed and set two in the ground before the rain go too heavy to work outside. Again, they are 8 foot 4" x 4" post, sunk in 24" holes. Once they are all in they will be trimmed to 4 foot tall and caps installed - matching the front section you see in the picture.

You may notice there is a slight "dog leg" from the right hand corner post back to the new posts. I could not run the front fence all the way to the property line, as the gas line comes in from across the street in this area. I did have the "Call before you Dig" guys come out and mark all the utility lines, so I knew it was there. I did see it when I was digging that post hole. I didn't want to sacrifice any more of the interior of the yard than necessary, so I put the other post where they should go and did a little dog leg.

The other issue as to where the right hand corner post is, is that I didn't want to cut down the tree, or even try to remove the roots of the old Rhododendron there. So, I cut the old Rhody off as flush as I could for the chain link fencing to go over it.

Those trees will block the sun a bit for that section of garden, but they are lightly leaved and a lot of sun still filters through.

This is the section were we will have the fire pit, already ordered, and seating area. Our intention is to have a Friday night custom of hanging out here and the neighbors and stop by for a chat and drink. Maybe some home made cookies, too.
