Today I was planning on starting on the next fence hurdle. Before I did that, I wanted to strain up the previous fence. When I started to put pressure on the fence wire, the middle fence post fell over. The post was completely rotten and it had a huge population of ants in it. Oh well. The post was about 8” diameter, but under the ground, the post was about 1” in diameter. There is a lot of water under the ground here, so it isn’t going to have a good life.
I pulled the post out and it’s diagonal support leaving me with a mucky muddy hole. I dug the hole out a bit and put in a new post and packed some rocks around it, then back filled. I put in a pair of temporary supports and nailed them to the post and then poured in some concrete. Now all I have to do is to wait for it to cure.
Right, it’s off fishing tomorrow!
I need to buy a few more bags of cement and I’ll see about that other fence post.
