Saturday work fencing

We decided some time ago to get some goats. We have a couple of hillsides that are really too steep for us to maintain- and one of them is just crazy with hau and is too hard for humans to keep clear.

This day GB wrangled us all to prep for fence (i.e. put up posts).

I dropped him off at the land and went to town to fetch a child and materials.

On my way back I scooped up Silas and brought Lena out to see what's been going on at the property.

First we had a looksee at the house

still wet

and the pool

and the hot tub

Then it was time for work. Tom and John came to help. Tom's been fencing all around his property, so he's an "expert" (esp compared to us). Lena oversees fencing at work all of the time.... another "expert".

Ra'am watched

(in his defense- there were too many people working at once, and Tom kept telling him to sit down)

I took a few pictures between catching up with Lena.

post holes were dug with the auger.... which got stuck in the mud, of course. Just after this photo was taken, as a matter of fact.

look at the nice line of posts!

More posts and fencing to come soon!
and then...
GOATS!
