Barnyard Project Complete

We finished up the fence on the downhill side of the barnyard and installed the gate. The slam post still has fresh concrete. Lisa will wait to move the horses around until after the big horses drink some of the water out of their tank. It has to be moved and is a little too heavy with 100 gallons in it.

The woolly worms are everywhere and woollier than usual. They say that is a sign of a bad winter coming. But what do those old wives know?

We still have to go down the hill by the chain link. It will be 24' on that side at first. We might go all the way to the corner eventually. I can still call the fence complete because the barrier is there and usable.

We went with five boards on this fence. We normally use the four board method and follow the terrain. This was a short run and we wanted to stay square with the house so we made it level. This caused too much of a gap at the end closest to the house, thus the fifth board at the bottom. We didn't want the tiny little horses to fall through the gap.
