Fence Building

We have been busy little people lately. I've mentioned in previous blog posts that we are trying to fence in the back yard which consists of around two acres. About a month ago Sean put up the 250 feet of wrought iron fence that was left over from around our now non-existent pool. That went along the front of the enclosure, the part you'd see when you pull up to the house. So this past weekend we put up the fence along the back of the property. Sean pounded in 45 T-posts (by hand) and then put up the 4X4 corner posts and secured them in with concrete. Then Sunday we unrolled the field wire and tightened it with a come along. Yesterday (Sean took a day off of work) and we secured the fence to the T-posts.



Wesley kept himself busy out there while we worked. He would bring us tools and clips and imitate Sean whenever he could. He had a blast.



We used the Green Machine (tractor) to attach the come along to. It worked well.



At the end of the day Wesley would pack all the tools into the trunk of his buggy.



The yard is really looking good, I'm excited to have such a big item checked off the to do list! Now as Wesley gets older he can run and play in an enclosed area. I can picture him riding mini motorcycles around, having a blast. Not to mention the animals, the mini horses and goats are going to be in hog heaven.
