Did I tell you about the FENCE we built this summer?

Ron did the digging into the deep dark earth, past the enormous rocks and dangerous insects. Laying the whole afternoon on the cold damp earth, risking his life and arm for the sake of a fence post. That was step one. He mixed and poured the concrete.

I held the levels steady to make sure the post didn't move.

Week two, or three, Ron dug a second deep hole into the deep dark earth, mixed the concrete, poured, patted and covered, then waited for the concrete to harden.

I held the levels steady to make sure the post didn't move.

I cleared the hillside so we could dig yet another post hole. The hole was pretty close to the edge of the hill. Same process. I held the levels steady to make sure the post didn't move.

Now we have a pretty neat looking fence. It is hard work, and it is quite level. By putting it back a little from where the old fence was makes a big difference. We did good work. (Mostly Ron did the good work!) Yeah, Ron. : )

No photos of Ron working hard...
