JULY 5, 2023 // SP OUTER RICHMOND FENCE PROJECT

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

Fence in progress. Here we document a post being set.

The client mandated that they wanted the posts from the old fence not be removed, I think because the neighbor had this stipulation. To achieve straight lines and stability, I sistered new posts on either side of the old ones we were told to leave in. Also, from this photograph you get a sense that we have made progress, which we had. This was a lot of work.

Here we see our work from another angle, documenting the efforts we made to achieve both stability, and beautiful square joints within the challenge of repurposing an existing line that was not straight.

Forrest and Ramona taking a break. You can see how much material is necessary to complete a project like this. It’s best to be meticulous before you go to the lumber yard so you don’t have to make too many trips. Even though this was early in my career, we managed this part fairly well.

Here’s a closer look at the corner. Forrest is taking a break but is still probably concerned about the level. We were very careful about the level. Always!
