boyst Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) Your thumb is in the way of the lens. That was a friend taking it. She does crossfit and a workout nut, I told her she needs to try getting some farm work in. She said it is not hard, just tedious. I am at the top in orange, leaning on the tamp. It kind of sucks for the person in the trailer because they used part of my pasture as their front lawn (I didn't really care, not like they tore it up or anything). Wow, that's a very good price for all that quality work. You should tip your friend with a bottle of his favorite brain tonic. The work he did was bore the holes. I set them and put them in line. Some were flooded from recent rain, which slowed me down a lot. Going back out in a bit to get back on it and start running wire later. There is a guy that has a post driver on a skidsteer (a $60-70k setup) who charges $10 to drive a post. You have to pack them, think linear tension, the straightest structure of a line is a straight line, and the firmer the post is packed the less space it has to absorb air and moisture. The less air and moisture the less rot, the stronger the post and longer the life. This fence should last 30 years, at least; I paid just under $7 per post, and bought 140, plus some special ones. They are 7' 6" long, 4-5" diameter, corner posts I generally go 8' long 7" around, braces 6' 6" 3-4". I have used 10' posts, old light poles and railroad ties. An entire fence line of mine is in railroad ties where a-holes run through it after not stopping at an intersection.

mead107 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Looks like leaning on a golf club to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Looks like leaning on a golf club to me. One day I will find out why, but you can walk around any part of my property and find golf balls on nearly any occasion in any area. I had went to a neighbors field to get some rocks and found 2 just lying there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 One day I will find out why, but you can walk around any part of my property and find golf balls on nearly any occasion in any area. I had went to a neighbors field to get some rocks and found 2 just lying there. Neighbors using the field for practice. I've done it. You figure (in my case) the farmer is just planting crops so a few lost balls in their field isn't going to hurt anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead107 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 What joy can you get out of hitting a golf ball and then chasing it just to hit it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I don't like golf. I have a theory that bird pick them up and scatter them. I have found them in some really strange places far from where anyone would and could have hit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Well, it looks really good till you get pretty far down the line. Looks like he got way off the mark there where you planted the pink & tan fence post. Is that something like a buoy marker in a channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few that took a lot of yam. The mud made a mess of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mead107 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Game is on tv in the Albany area. Normally we are blacked out. Edited December 30, 2012 by mead107 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Game is on tv in the Capitol district . Even if it was on TV here I doubt I would watch it if not busy. Am going to start stringing wire tomorrow. All posts got in yesterday, hung gates and done up corners and major braces today. All that is left is wire! anyway, I will have the game blaring on the stereo, I hope my neighbors like the Bills by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 http://imgur.com/Y7m8k,Oyi0H First picture calf. It is 28 degrees, bet she's cold! Second picture is my hands and them cracking open, just three fingers on my right hand shown. Thumb is split on hands and two fingers on left, too. Hurts like hell.
