Fencing Extravaganza - Reprise (Day 2)

Since yesterday didn't go quite as planned and the fence posts didn't get upright, today was a workday at the farm.

Al and Mark worked hard this morning to get the post pounder working properly and the first run of post in.  David arrived just before lunch and helped them out with the last few posts before lunch break.

David patched up the sheet metal on the goat barn that had loosened in the last windstorm, then took over for Mark with post pounding.

By nightfall (which happens way too early these days, by the way!), the guys had 3/4 of the perimeter finished. 

It was a pretty windy and sometimes stormy day.  But God blessed us with a beautiful painted sky tonight!

 

 

Big thanks today to Mark and David for all their hard work.  We hope you aren't sore tomorrow!

Fencing Extravaganza - Reprise

Since last weeks fencing adventure was so fun, we decided to continue today!  Well, we really need to get the fence up since the goats and winter will be here soon.

Al arranged to rent a tractor for the weekend.  But while we waited for it to arrive, the crew started clearing around the old running sheds and readying them for repair.  They also loaded up the back of the truck and delivered fence posts into the field.

Once the tractor arrived, they discovered that the fence post pounder did not fit this tractor either, so off the guys went to TSC to get the needed parts.  The girls continued to deliver the fence posts until it got too dark.

The work day ended with finally getting the fence pounder attached to the tractor.  Unfortunately, this had to be done in the dark.  But at least it's ready to pound some posts into the ground!

Special thanks today to Mark, Liz and Ruth.  And to Anna who kept me smiling and helped me with the boys so I could get supper ready!
