I hoped you'd notice it! Yeah, it's doing great ... but might need some work on the brakes. On my list!

That is a lot of work. Well done. Good to see both of you hard at work on the farm. Miss you two!

@@metaspencer It would have taken twice as long if I was there helping. The bike ride was good. I should have vlogged it but wasn't sure I was even going to make after so many years off from bike travel.

Nice work. I’m still working on a huge dead oak 100 ft tall, 3 ft diameter) that I have to rig down solo. I can appreciate those post hole stones. I have a couple hundred feet of 45 year old split rail fence and have been replacing the post one at a time but without benefit of any heavy equipment. The roots from my trees intertwine with the post holes. It’s rare when I can pull a rotten one out and drop in a new one. It’s always a battle with the roots and the stone. Keep up the “How You” videos. Love ‘em.

I paid a guy with a tractor and 9 inch wide auger to dig 53 holes for my privacy fence. Almost everyone was dug on an angle. This must be pretty hard to master as our property is full of stones more like boulders here in Northeast PA

It's hard to get them in straight but it can definitely be done, especially if that auger is on a skid steer. Sounds like a nice fence!

I spend most of my time doing fences and treework out on our farm too! Some great tensioning techniques, thanks!

This is a property we've had for a long time -- but we've kind of neglected it. So it's getting some extra care. We built the house together so really like the place :)

Y come u didn’t just dump quickcreat into the wet holes? Removed water, just to add I’d back in? I use the mix in the hole method for years and works great. Y’all making some big investments. That fencing isn’t cheap for sure.

Aside from the frogs being down there in the holes skinny dipping, I've always wondered if the mix would be right when mixing in the hole. I've dug out some old posts before where the concrete never set, so I guess that made me paranoid. But your approach sounds good and I'm sure it works! I'm just stuck in my ways I guess :)

Did you bother to paint the "inground" portion of your wood posts with roofing tar before pouring concrete around them ? If Not , your posts will turn into mush is a relatively short time , like 5 to 7 years or less !

nah we never do that ... pressure treated posts around here come out of the ground like new 10 years later. Maybe it's the clay and rocky soil?

How many frogs had to die for this blasted fence, I have a property that sometimes has thousands of frogs on the grass, I try and watch out for them but many commit harry carry under the mower.i have hundreds of funerals a day, not good.

Ok, first and foremost, why is my girlfriend picking you up in my truck? Second, why are you riding my tractor and play with my dogs?
