Some Fence Work

 Now that it's warming up around here, we can get out and work some fence in relative comfort,So that's just what I did.  We have a stretch of old fence that need replacing and we are going to put a loading chute in also. So I got busy today clearing the brush from the fence line, and also setting another post in to make an H post to hold the end of the fence.  

 Clearing the brush was pretty easy, there wasn't that much of it, maybe ten feet of real trouble bushy spots total, and alot of vines growing up thru the wires, I need to mention that its field fence , not barbed wire, so that's where the vines cause problems!

So like I said , it wasn't to bad, and with a chain saw, it was short work! It actually took more time to pick up all the brush and move it to the burn pile than cut it off the fence.

 Next came sinking the other post to make an H post for the gate end of this stretch of fence, again not to hard , just a little manual labor!

 I dug a hole with the post hole digger, the most evil tool ever devised by man..IMHO, well it really wasn't that bad, we just had some rain yesterday so the ground was pretty soft, next drop a 5 inch treated post in the hole, fill in the void with concrete, mix with water and let it set up.  I'll let this set up for a day before I do anymore work on it, to make sure its in good and solid.  That cross board up top is just to keep it from wiggling until it sets up good.
 Next I'll put in the permanent cross brace, pull out the old fence and roll it up , then hang the new fence!
I'll keep you posted!
