The fence is arriving!

[Tink]

We took delivery of our fence posts last night so now can get started digging them in. It seems unreal that we've finally reached this point. We ended up buying 8 foot long 3" x 5" treated posts so hopefully they'll out last us. If we're going to do it we might as well do it to last, right?

The corner posts will be cemented in and braced to withstand the temperature changes our area is so well known for. When the summers can bring 100+ degree days and winters -30 with -100 windchill, you have to be prepared for both and the ground heaving it can bring.

According to the woman moving out next door, they're going to either sell or rent out the place, so hopefully this will prevent the same problem with any future occupants.

When the Amish neighbors came by last night, they brought with them a map drawn out by their surveyor several yrs ago... a different one than we'd hired... in which the exact same lines ours found were determined. The map included their property, ours, and 2 more on the other side of us, showing the areas where the lines were "off". It's amazing how accurate they were!
