1Just starting The old fence is down, one row of new holes is dug. 2Posts in holes A line of fence posts ready to be set 3Cutting to fit We ran into boulders in a couple of the holes, and needed to cut a couple posts down to keep them level 4Starting to look good We have the two end posts in the line set, and are adding rails to line everything up 5Setting sun on the new fence We were just about ready to wrap it up here "I don't own horses and hav..." View Comments... 6The end of a day's work We started out the day with some more layout work, and finished with six set posts and two nice sunburns! 7John adding cement to a post hole Dad came over today and helped John dig some more holes. 8They set the gate posts The gate post is the one on the far left 9We painted 8X8 wood posts for hanging gates There are 6 bags of cement down there... I don't think they are going to move! 10One day, two short runs, two gate posts It was nearly 100 degrees, but John and Dad finished the two ends up to the gate posts today (6-25) 11North end gate Here is the gate hung on the north end of the fence by the barn 12South run of North pasture (riding ring) This run is complete with a gate to grass paddock (which is not started yet) 13West and South runs a shot down the West run by the pine trees 14Leveling ground John is working with the tractor to level out the high spots... it will look a lot better to have the fence level 15Best tool to have... a post level 16Rocks in the hole There were several rocks in the way that John dug out 17This one was too big half of the rock is still covered with dirt 18The rocky hole... and the big one never did come out. John udercut the hole to push it out of the way 19Caught in the act! Yes, I DO help some! Here I am tamping cement in the post hole 20How the gates are hung We used the hardware that came with the gates, and hung them on 8X8 wooden posts 21The latch 1/2" eyebolt mounted in a vinyl post (it has a steel sleeve inside it) 22A well hung gate... check out the gate wheel... helps support the gate, and makes it easy to open 23Finished North end Looking good! We got the holes augered for the East side the same day (7-2) 24And found more rocks! This was only about 1 1/2 ft. down in the hole, so we had to get it out of there
