320 Feet Down, 735 To Go!


Sounds like a drinking song, right? Getting this fence in is imperative to continuing our current 'lifestyle' and making sure we don't run out of money! The prep work seemed to take more time than the actual installation, honestly! Sort of like prepping the kitchen for painting. Finished the first coat of KILZ last night, putting a second one on, maybe tonight? Beautiful day, might spend it putting in post holes for the second leg of the fencing project.

The first pasture will be fenced in triangularly, with one of the 'angles' being rounded. The lot shape is odd, and there is some topographical changes; we want to take advantage of that, fencing off the steepest part of the hill. On the steep hill there are some 'volunteer' saplings that are really nice trees. Pin and Red Oak, Sugar Maple, Beech, Poplar: trees we would want to plant anyway. It will be good to have that slope in hardwood and glad we didn't have to buy them!
