Name:
Location: Longview, Washington, United States

I live in a small town in Washington State, USA, with my wife, two sons, two dogs, a cat, and family nearby. I work at the local community college as an I.T. Specialist. In March of '02, we bought a 70-some year old house that needed a lot of work. When I'm not working on the house, I like to throw pots, be outside, and read a lot.

Posts are in the ground

So far the hardest part physically has been digging the holes. That took most of a day. Tuesday we dug almost all of them and got the posts braced up straight and concrete poured for all of them along one side and the front. Yesterday we poured the last side, dug the last few posts, and strung fencing for about half of it. Putting the wire was relatively easy work and rewarding as it went quickly. Next comes hanging the bracing and building the gates.

  • Oh Ich bin augering... The old hand auger we borrowed from my grandpa did the trick quite nicely. It has two cutting blades and two furrows that channel the dirt into about a foot long cylinder - much easier that the standard tweezer style post hole diggers.

  • I love renting power tools. Thats fo sho. I also like free family labor (thanks again Steve!).

    Brits away, Scott will play (ie; rent power equipment. On tap for this weekend: a big old drum sander for the upstairs and possibly a ditch digger if I get really motivated.
