What a beautiful, relaxing and satisfying day.
We have a long weekend here, so I’m off work Friday-Monday. These are the first days off I’ve had this year, when I haven’t had filming or lambing to do as well.
My chickens have been bothering me for a while now. They’re all round the house and making a mess around the back door, as well as laying their eggs in the long grass and losing them. So the new hen house is now ready and I’m building a run around it, for the hens.
Today was a beautiful day and I got cracking mid-morning, putting up the posts. I ordered the posts from the Crofters several weeks ago, but this is the first chance I’ve had to erect them.
Corner posts went in first. I used postcrete for them – magnificent stuff!
I was very happy with how the posts ended up. Just perfect!
Ii had Bud out with me for the day as well. He’s actually starting to behave himself off-lead!
The regular posts were next. This didn’t take too long.
I had to stand on the tailgate of the pickup to knock them in. These are 8 foot posts, to allow the fence to be 2 rolls high.
I managed to get half the posts in tonight and I should be able to get the rest finished before lunch tomorrow. Pretty chuffed with how it looks so far. More of the same tomorrow!
Air an Lot 
Lookin’ good!
Congrats on sinking all your fence posts. It is lots of work, but looks like you did a good job.
