Our Fence

We came home on Sunday and found some slats missing on our fence and one of our 8 foot fence sections was hanging disconnected on one side. We spent over an hour outside fixing the fence with screws and nails trying to piece it back together.

Later, our neighbor told us that the previous night she had heard some noise and looked outside to see what the commotion was. She saw some guy who had stopped in a truck in front of our house. He was crazy/mad, was yelling and ripping our fence apart. She said he saw her because she had the light on in her house so she turned the light off quickly so that he couldn't see her. She was scared that he would come over to their house since he looked like he had completely lost it. Instead, he got back in his truck and left. I'm glad that he didn't torment the neighbor. I'm also glad that he left when he saw her, because the fence was pretty torn apart.

Poor Jake... he spent a lot of time making the fence. He seemed mad and disappointed about the whole thing. :(

I'm including a picture of the fence so that you can more easily visualize the destruction.

How sad............You have both worked so hard to make the houses look awesome. I hope he doesn't come back.

That really sucks. I can't believe that someone who is mad would just tear apart someone else's stuff. I feel bad for both of you but especially Jake. He worked hard on that fence.
