Blankety-blank wind!
« on: September 24, 2013, 12:42:39 AM »
So yesterday got a little blustery around Casa Driver....   Gusts to 40MPH....   And apparently Mother Nature really didn't like where our fence was.....  Add in a couple rotted out posts, aaaaand.....  Flop.   About a 16 foot section decided to kiss the grass.

Today, we dug out new postholes...   And found that one of them was right over a gi-freakin-normous tree root......   Only managed to get about 16 inches deep.    Little nervous about that one.   So I made the hole a little wider......   And put a whole 80 pound bag of concrete in there.   The others each got a whole bag too, but they're more in the 2 foot deep neighborhood. 

Pain the the butt.   But at least it's gonna be done right....ish.  :)

So fencing is one of your foibles ?

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
