The Fence

On July 4th - remember the wind?
It took out a BIG portion of the old box elder tree at the back corner of our house.
We decided to take the whole thing down, for safety reasons. 

Took down the old barbed wire fencing and fence posts

Had a company come in and cut down the rest of the tree and drill out the stump

We were left with this............
Not much privacy from cars coming down the road, plus the view wasn't too great (haha) 

Rog and Zac got to work
Took down clothesline poles that I never used. 

Dug holes for the posts

In the middle of all this, Zac had fencing problems of his own :(

Set new posts where we could...........

There was a section right in the middle that the piped ditch ran right through, so we had to leave those out for the time being. 

See that section with no posts?  

Got busy forming the mow strip up. 

Early Saturday morning - August 10th we started the pour.
The kids were there with lights and hammers

Even these two !!

Quick and easy - got er' done

It was lighter when we finished

And just a little bit of rain.........no problem. 

We set the anchors to hold the posts that couldn't be cemented in the ground. 

It's getting there............

Up go the rails. 

I call this one - "Moon over My Fanny" (haha) 

Then in with the slats

To finish up, we had to redo some of the sprinkling system.
A good job done !!
