Fencing

For several years, the fences at the back of our property have needed to be repaired.  It was the first item on the "to do" list after Don retired.  It took him two months to get to it, but this last week was the one.

He managed to get some help pulled out most of the fence posts.  But there was one left for him to do.  With ingenuity and a few pulleys, he managed to get it out:

Then last weekend, when Kenneth was home, Don, Rick and Kenneth began putting up the stringers.  They managed to complete the Gaskill's side and get a good jump on ours before Kenneth had to leave.  By Sunday evening, Don had all of the stringers complete, the Gaskills were nearly done, and I had hauled all the wood to the back yard.

We hope by Tuesday night, the fence will be complete!  A lot of hands make for quicker work, but this is one project where we could have had a lot more hands . . .
