We decided to put in new fencing on the east and north sides around the house in hopes of keeping the dogs from wandering so widely. The old fence line was a mess with lots of holes. See below:
Our challenge was finding someone who was willing to clear all the brush and trees out. Our friend Hector signed up with his tractor and started cleaning everything up.
After a day of dozing, wow what a difference!
Then came the fires.
They were allowed to burn all night and I checked on and off to make sure we weren't burning down everything. After dark, I saw embers shooting several hundred feet in the air. It was hard to not panic! Amazingly, the county did not burn down! The next morning the dozier dug two huge holes and buried whatever didn't burn. I think it looks pretty good.
At this point, Matthew and his crew were able to set posts and hang wire.
We did have to call in the surveying company as there were some questions about where a portion of the property line was. They Geo shot our points and the fence work progressed to completion.
Now we are able to keep the doggies in, BUT now we are having trouble keeping the calves out! (see next Blog)
