Building a Fence

We've finalized the design and are going with a low (36") horizontal fence using brackets to hold the 4x4 supports and 1x4s for the slats with .25 inch gap between slats. The photos are of a quick (shorter) mockup of what the fence will hopefully look like by the end of the day. We're still undecided on what color stain to go with -- light or dark??

In the meantime, I am putting together something called a smashed potato bomb with fried eggs. With bacon, of course!
