My House Project #1

When we were looking at our new home, Christine and I noticed that the fence to our back yard didn't have a gate on the north side of the house.  Christine asked me to build a gate, so that is the first project I set out to do.  I purchased supplies a few weeks after we moved in, but after having surgery I wasn't able to work on the gate for a little while.  About two weeks ago, I finished the gate and Christine helped me hang it in place last week.
I feel really proud about being able to build something.  It was a fun project.  I even used my CAD software at work to design it and show Christine what I had envisioned.  I think it turned out pretty nice.  So without further a do, here is the before picture and the after picture. I think time and weather has faded the color of the fence, so we'll need to re-stain it to match.
