After a storm, the aging wood fence was falling apart, so I replaced the damages sections. This was my last project as we sold the house before finishing the fence, but left the new owners with a lot of extra product to continue the project.
There are many various smaller projects and finishing touches in addition to the big jobs. Here's a collection of some.
