How much does it cost to fence a yard?

We went to 10' 2x4's between the posts and 6' high cedar dog earred box fence style. You can buy the pieces individually at any big box hardware store. You will need a 8 foot 4x4 post every ten feet. I put cement in mine but if you are renting I would not do that. All you need are nails a hammer, measuring tools, pencil, and a good circular saw, Oh and a few cases of beer for a fence rasing party on a long weekend. Nothing less than a 6 foot high fence will give you the privacy you are looking for. Don't forget to pick a spot for the gate and make it wide enough to get what ever you need to into the back yard (i.e. riding lawnmower) I can post a pic of mine if you like.

Don't you need some kind of post-hole digger? I think that would be the hardest part.

And if you find a good one, consider marrying her.

Yes. I thought about that after the fact. I just figured that it would have been intuitive. You obviously have it.
