We finally broke ground on our fencing project. This was a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the dog wanted to help. "Dad you're digging a hole!!! That's my favorite thing to do. Actually now that I think of it it's my second favorite thing after rolling in anything stinky but it's right up there!"
This is how we started. Laugh all you want we are do it
yourselfers and we were going to do all 1
oo something fence posts manually!
Ooops notice I said "going to".
Mom even had to give dad a break. I think this is the same hole!!!!
Moving right along.
The guys down at
Agway told us we would probably do about one corner and braces and be beat for the day and they were right on the money.
We quickly realized that manually was just plain dumb and we rented this machine. It still took two grown men to run the darn thing. Brad's dad was a HUGE help in getting things done and done right.
After we realized that even the earth drill was just plain dumb we brought in the big guns and used some diesel powered horses (and many of them) to make some real progress.
At this point (a couple of days ago) we stapled up the
horsecote. It is a 12.5 gauge wire bonded with plastic made for horses. It looks real nice and aside from getting the posts in the ground is a breeze to put up.
My little cowgirl! Emeline was a great helper.
ALL of the girls were. They carried things and helped put the whole thing up with us. We still have one side left to go but we are very pleased with the results. Thank you Brad and girls for doing this for me!! Jazz and
Zatt (the horses) thank you too!!!!!
