Here's the driveway side of the house. Remember that Chris the handyman dug those holes on the ninth of April. That's why those piles in the second pic below are flatter and covered with grass and weeds.
We still have to put the hinges and gate on/in, along with filling in those holes around the posts (which should make the project look a bit more complete). Trimming, as necessary, and affixing the post-caps will be the final step.
Then we'll plant some stuff at the base of the fence. Maybe some hastas and an azalea? Something evergreen anyway, but leaving enough open space to pile up snow from the driveway.
It was serendipity, but we're happy the height of the fence (not the posts) matches the height of the sill on the porch. See far right of the final pic.
For reference, the fence visible behind ours in the final pic is also cedar. So over time, the color of the fence will get grayer and browner, getting a few shades darker than the driveway cement.

Sue has only six days left! I'm making brownies this morning for a Campaign-ending celebration at my boss' house, which is doubling as a baby shower for a lady in the office who will be having twin girls in August/September.

This stuff about the red-line metro accident is scary. Crazy.
