Building Fences





Things have been moving right along for us here. Dane finished fencing in a one and half hectacre (about 3 acres) section of our farm so that we can buy some animals. A lot of work went into making it: looking for trees, chopping down dead trees, cutting posts, clearing brush, crossing ravines, setting posts, and stretching wire. The fence turned out really nice; in fact, it is one of the nicest farm fences that I have ever seen. All the fence posts came from our property which makes it even nicer. The fence is a solar powered electric fence with a charge of 3000 volts (Ouch!). Anyway, we look forward to having some livestock again for milk, cheese, and meat.

I had to include this picture of Elijah and David helping Dane to move posts from the forest up to our homesite.
