It was a Saturday morning in March and my grandfather woke up early. He looked out the window and saw that the sky was gray and the wind was blowing heavily through the trees. He put on his old brown boots, his green jacket and his worn out gloves and went outside to the backyard.

He had been planning to fix the old fence for weeks. The wood was dark and rotten and two of the posts had split during the last storm. He grabbed his hammer and a bag of nails from the garage and started working quietly while the rest of the family was still sleeping.

My dad came downstairs around seven in the morning and saw his father through the kitchen window. He quickly put on his jeans and his gray sweater and went outside to help. My grandfather smiled warmly when he saw him.

Together they measured the fence with a tape measure and marked the spots where the new posts needed to go. My dad grabbed the shovel and started to dig while my grandfather used the level to make sure everything was straight. It was cold and both of them were sweaty even though the temperature was low.

My uncle arrived shortly after. He was a carpenter and had brought his own tools in a red wheelbarrow. He had his handsaw, his chisel, his drill and several drill bits. He also brought a caulking gun to seal the gaps between the wood panels.

They worked steadily all morning. My uncle sawed the new wood planks carefully while my dad held them firmly in place. My grandfather used the adjustable wrench to tighten the bolts on the gate and then used the file to smooth the rough edges of the wood.

My cousin came out around noon with a tray of coffee and soup. She was wearing a yellow apron and carrying everything carefully so she would not spill anything. She placed the tray on a wooden table near the garden and called everyone to take a break.

While they were resting my nephew wandered into the backyard and picked up the pruning shears. Before anyone could stop him he had already pruned three branches from the lemon tree. My grandfather laughed and said he had done a surprisingly good job.

After lunch my dad used the paint roller to apply a coat of white paint to the fence while my uncle used a paintbrush to reach the corners and edges. My grandfather used the staple gun to attach some wire mesh along the bottom of the fence so the dog could not dig underneath it.

By late afternoon the fence was completely done. It was straight, white and solid. My grandfather stood back and looked at it proudly. My dad put his arm around his shoulder and my uncle nodded with satisfaction.

My grandmother came outside with a black and white cloth to wipe the tools clean before putting them away. She organized everything carefully in the garage, the hammers on one shelf, the screwdrivers on another and the saws hanging on the wall.

That evening the whole family sat around the dining table. My grandmother had cooked a huge pot of soup and baked a cake with chocolate frosting. Everyone was tired but completely happy.

My grandfather looked around the table at his family and said nothing. He simply smiled and picked up his spoon.

Outside the white fence stood quietly in the evening light, solid and clean, a small thing that had taken all day and everyone together to build.
