Fencing Frenzy

G is away for a few days, camping with his high school friends in North Carolina. While the cat is away, the mouse will play! 

Or rather, work. 😅 

I decided to surprise him with a bunch of projects done when he gets home... I enlisted the help of his brother up in Duluth. He came down for a few days to put up pasture fence with me. 

Even though it has rained on and off, we've accomplished a lot! All the wooden posts are sunk and cemented in. Gates are hung. Steel posts in line. Would you believe we only had two fence posts leftover? G is really good at estimating.

We used a hose to make sure our line was straight. I'd stand back behind a couple of installed posts to triple check they were in line. We used a level as we pounded them in to make sure they were level sideways and frontwards. This has got to be the straightest fence in Blue Earth County! 

Unfortunately, we weren't able to finish the back pasture. We ran out of fence and TSC is out of stock too. They might get more on Monday. 

The finished part of our back pasture fence...

I thought about posting this earlier in the week. Odds are pretty low that G would read this before he gets home... Buuuuut, better safe than sorry! He's on a plane heading back to MN right now...
