Fencing

Digging the holes

As I asked for information about my fencing project I got varying opinions.  But as I continued to talk to people about this project I found that my friend Don had some of the best advise.  He was very respectful of my ideas.  The issue was whether to use cement or not.  Well, I am here to tell you that I may or may not have used cement.  And if I do use cement it will be kept a secret. I really thought the digging the holes would be my hardest part.  But I had borrowed a post hole digger that was just twisted into the ground.   It worked much better than the ones I used when I was a kid on the farm.  Dad didn't distinguish between male or female.  As kid both my brother and I had to fence.  The farm that I grew up on was not sand like I have at my present place.  It was rocky and clay.  Much more difficult to dig.
