Fence Project: Rails

First thing, we went to Frederick, returned the pounder, returned home to get the flat bed, then off to Mt Airy - BBX - to get 210 16ft oak boards. We took the time to have a nice visit with Bill Barnes. He's an old-timer, and I know some of the families that he spoke of, being from here myself.

The boards are still on the trailer, we will drive the flat bed around the new pastures, pulling them off as we install the rails, so we don't have to pick them up twice.

We went to Germantown to the BigOrangeBoxStore to buy six 6x6s for the gate posts - have to be square and sturdy to support the gates.

We then took a nap - had ribs for dinner - brutally hot outside, still.

He made a 'saw horse' 9 feet wide to park at the bottom of the hill on the PEPCO power-line right-of-way - 'no trespassing. I need to paint it.
