The Square Root of 512

All the posts are in for the first corner of the turn around.


Andy came over to cut the notches in the posts. We weren't quite ready so he helped with the concrete.


There were six posts in this corner.


We put the gate up Friday afternoon and dug the holes yesterday.


All the posts had cross braces.


Andy is good at cutting notches.


We were originally going to have a 90 degree corner here but had a compelling reason for cutting the corner.


This shows the size of the turn around. The back of it is fifty feet from the driveway.

This is why we cut the 90 into two 45s. The original corner post was to be in this hole. That black thing is the edge of a leech chamber, part of the drain field. We were sure we were clear of it but it extended a little further down the slope than we thought. We guessed this was the bottom one so we should be clear now. Lisa caught it pretty quick and had me stop the auger so it just tore a small hole in the side. It shouldn't be too hard to fix.


The arrow shows where the original corner was supposed to be. We now know exactly where the leech field is.
