Deer Fence Gates

What a job the deer fence has been! On Friday Richard, Jim and I installed two posts for the first gate, which was more difficult than I imagined because we need to line everything up just right. We started on the second gate but keep hitting rock on one of the holes and had to leave. I returned on Saturday morning to determine if it was boulders or bedrock we were hitting (definitely bedrock) and started a 3rd hole but gave up in the unseasonable heat.

Today, in record-breaking heat, Terry & Ryan were able to install the posts in the 2nd gate (after digging even more holes in an attempt to evade the bedrock), as well as a post along the old driveway. It was brutal working weather! But they did it.

After the posts set up they'll be ready to attach the remaining fencing and gates. And THEN I can order the plants. Whoohoo!
