Putting Up Some Fence

 You know the drill, fence work is a part of the farm and ranch life, seems like by the time you the new fence up it's time to start again.  Well our place is no exception, so we have been puttin up a new section of fence, the old stuff finally rusted thru and a few head of neighbor cattle got through and tore the rest up. 

  We started a few last week with an "H" post , dug out two holes with that infernal contraption known as the post hole digger, we were gonna rent a powered one, but the stars and the money just didn't line up right, oh well. Two sacs of Sacrete and some 4X4 treated lumber and whammo, an "H" post.  After that its just a matter of driving steel "T" posts and stringing the wire, oh did i mention the clearing of the brush from the old fence line...now that part took a while!

Anyway here is the finished product, hope it lasts as long as the old one did!

 This is the final product, notice how the brush is cleared away, that was alot of tractor work and Hand clearing!

Here is the H post, still gotta cut the tops down a little, looks like a goal post hahahaha!


So there you have it , nothing like stringing fence!
