backyard fence, part 2

so after are fence was laid out, and a new day dawned, i swung by home depot for an auger. definetley rent one of these if you have 'a lot' of fence post holes to dig; we had 9. it was totally worth it. it only took about 40 minutes!

fill the bottom six inches with gravel.


andrea enjoyed using out awesome neighbors wheel barrow!


townsend had to approve first. he did; although in hindsight he feels guilty that he lent his own paw to the building of a fence to keep him in line!


only had to use one bag of concrete [on the gate posts]. all of the other fence posts are held up by about 22 inches worth of a tamped-down mixture of gravel and soil.


the other side of the house's fence posts.

Don't forget about the big rocks we strategically placed in the holes to keep the fence post solid.

We learned that on a Mountains to Sound Greenway service project last summer.

This was fun:)
