Before:
The first little job was to remove the tree stump that was right on the boundary. I only broke one maddock in the process but it came out fairly easily.
It was a cool start Saturday morning.
Digging the post holes didn't go quick as well as I had hoped due to the fill that was used on the block. Our little post hole digger we hired didn't do a great job, so Neil was kind enough to lend a hand with the tractor. However, this wasn't a success either, it just made massive holes. Fortunately, the fill stopped about 10 metres down the boundary, then the little digger worked a treat!
Dad and I spent all of Saturday digging holes, then putting up the posts. We nearly made it half way.
Sunday morning saw a lot of progress, as Lloyd with his experience and confidence started constructing the wall. Dad and I kept going with the posts, with the assistance of a keen pint-sized helper.
The cold didn't deter Abi, she just rugged up got to work!
Roland only popped his head out on the rare occasion to take a break from his school work. And when he did, you could be sure he wouldn't move a step without his Black Shadow stuck to his side.
The finished product. The wall was completed in the weekend. The post still need a bit of work to get them ready for the fence, but it was a great start. I've already ordered the fruit trees that will call the boundary home by Spring!
