Fencing News

Yesterday we set 9 wooden line posts, 12 tee posts and 90 yards of fence across the east pasture. For each line post we used the power auger (the Earthquake) to bore a three foot hole, finishing it off with a shovel and post hole diggers. For each tee post I became a human pile driver, using a tee post hammer. 25 strokes each.

We set 47 inch cattle fence, and the stretching itself was done with a manual come-along from the south corder post.

We started at 8:30 am and ended at 8:30 pm. But it's done - we took advantage of the beautiful weather. Next weekend, more fencing. And maybe I'll mow the yard. Maybe.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
