post and rail continues

Time to get back to the ranch work and get the post and rail finished. While Sheldon ate his breakfast and perused the stack of newspapers I put the second coat on one of the pieces I missed the underside of the azure pieces.

 this smart little apple treat waited to bloom after the wind storm ;)

We loaded the now repaired generator in the quad trailer along with most of the tools we needed to remotely finish the far south paddock and headed out. Before we started on the post and rail though we rehung the snapped electric wire broke last year along closest paddock when Mom's horse and Baby had words over the fence.

Off to the main event. It was not long before we were out of bolts and needed a couple missing tools ;) Seeing we needed to restock on bolts we might as well get the longer rails we needed to which required the dump trailer which was still loaded with mainly the cut up poly tanks (I had given away most of the wood at this point). Over a quick bite to eat we found the dump no longer has a dump and burn pit but would require us to hand bomb all the stuff off. Thank goodness I had most of the wood taken care of! I pulled off another 3 pallets before we headed to the dump and a fellow popped out to get while we were fencing.

So off to the dump station to unload the trash then to UFA to get the supplies and back to work. Man she is a hot one at 30 but there is a breeze that keeps bugs at bay and a bit of a cooler temp. However once you got down in the far corner it was HOT. Of course this is where old posts had to be hand jacked out and wire cut etc. But by 7 we got all the work done that could be until the remaining rails are exchanged tomorrow.

this quad works hard

corner left to do

days progress

We got inside just before Britt after her first paid day of work and 4 days off. Long day for sure but even longer as she ate and was off to town to wait at the ER for a prescription and not getting back home till 9:30. Sheldon hit the TV room for the hockey game after supper while I went with a shower and some Netflix!
