Today Linda and I finished the north fence. I’m a bit tired from post pounding. It was another warm, rainy day in the 50’s.
This is the post of a fence perpendicular to the fence we moved – I was struck at the different color lichens that grow on the north and south sides of the fencepost – the north side of the post is green and the south are yellowish.
Had an example of someone who wasn’t thinking at the farm store. I needed just a few more 16 foot combination panels. There are three main kinds of panels – cattle panels with wide spacing and tall. Pig panels with tight spacing and short, and combination panels that are tall with narrow spacing on the bottom and wide on the top. I needed a few of those as they do a pretty good job of keeping chickens out.
There were a number of rows of different kinds of panels at the store. Row 1 was 1 stack of cattle panels. Row 2 was 2 stacks of cattle panels. Row 3 was 3 stacks of panels, piled 4 bundles high and you can guess that the combination panels were on the bottom of the pile furthest back.
It took three guys and a forklift digging in the mud, fork blades, a boom, and about 45 minutes to an hour to move the hundreds of cattle panels to get the 5 combo panels I needed. I was able to run some other errands so I didn’t have to waste all that time.
