Shade garden fence

This is a fence that we made out of very old windows and stair balusters, both left over from jobs my hubby did. The windows are so old that they have hand-rolled glass! There are two sections with my tea pot fountain set between the two fence sections. I love them because they are open and don't obstruct my view and they keep the dog from tearing through my shade garden!

    I am new to home talk and this is the first thing I wanted to know how to do.

    Do people normally post without directions?

    Ok! Ok! Ok! I'll be posting the instructions shortly! So sorry! Please forgive me, I've spent 38 days in the hospital with three surgeries! I'm going to post them as a new post instead of adding them to this one since it was originally about my fence and not the tea pot fountain...

    Done! Please check my Hometalk page for how we did the fountain. No need for anyone to be upset!

    Julee... I, too, adore your tea-pot fountain. However, I'm mad for your fencing creation! We're tear'g down our deck. Told contractor not to toss the pickets & usable lumber so I can create an unique fence around my veggie gardens, "Dogwood Island" & "The Mews" (retreat "rooms."). I've been saving windows as we replace them to create "something" cool 'n unique. I haven't known what - til now. Seems "my" uniqueness must now have signage on one of the fence posts from the deck excess: ...»

    PS - I feel pressed to post this prayer for you, Julee. If any feel this is inappropriate, please to forgive. Still, I must act upon my faith-based conviction.

    – Julee: I pray full healing & restoration to every portion of your body, down to the celluar & atomic-levels in Jesus' of Nazareth name. He promises where 2 or 3 are gathered in His name, asking for the same thing, that He is there. That we can ask of Him absolutely anything and it will be ...»

    done, including greater things than He did whilst here. Wow! Huge! Kelly S, Tammy & I make "3". So we meet God's quorum. Believe - and watch your healing be created. Amen. (Matt 18:19-20)

    Thanks Mamie! I'm sanding it down and repainting it this year. Right now it's upside down on sawhorses on my deck and within ear shot of my son and I paint when I can. Hopefully in a few days I'll get both panels back up.
