Open the Gates!

This morning we took advantage of the clear weather and installed the gates. Installation day is alway exciting and happily the gates went in without a hitch.

At 8' tall, 10'wide, and 3" thick they provide plenty of privacy, but they are still 'neighbour friendly.' In fact, we received several 'thumbs up' from people driving by as we were installing them. Each side of the gates depicts a different forest scene. The inner scene features a deer while the outside of the gate includes a little bunny rabbit. 

Now we wait as the gates continue to gather a natural patina before we apply the finishing touches to visually separate the different layers.
