Sockdolager

We managed the first of 6 (7?) sections of fencing.  A multi-step process that proved a bit challenging.  First, cut all the post s to correct height.  Then, the lower wire.  Followed by the top rail then the actual chain link.  Of course the chain link tangled on itself and on my rings,  Ugh.  Thank you Don for freeing me!  Securing both the top and bottom and clips on the end posts.  So many steps! Some extra digging and stump removal hindered our progress.  But with the first in place, the other sections should go faster.  Fingers crossed!

 

            Using both a come-a-long and the tractor to pull the fence tight was necessary!

It was a gorgeous day with lots of sun and cool breezes.  Perfect weather for getting it done.

Dinner by TJ (thank you!) and cards (TJ the clear winner!)  completed our day.  It definitely felt like we were gone longer than 3 weeks!  Great greeting by Brianna who ran down the street to greet us! 

Happy birthday Lisa!  Miss you!
