The next step



(Please don't berate me about driving posts like this. He's a guy...what can I say?)

That is so funny. My husband has a skid steer. I know all about the 'guy' thing. Things it takes me an hour to do manually, he insists he can do quicker with his machinery. Never happens. Some of my quaint hiking trails have turned into roads that are lacking double yellow lines and stop signs.

They look jusssssssst fine!
Was someone else going to do it??
Good job, Boss.

Okay, so what's the project? That fence is too low to keep any deer out. Raccoons would climb right over. Rabbits? Okay they might not make it over or under but that mesh is pretty big.

What are you going to fence in?

ps: If you've got a skid steer everything starts to look like it can be done with a skid steer. Ain't nothin' wrong with that. Especially since it was hot out.

Teri, I actually am very fond of the skid steer. It makes many hard jobs easy. I just figured that somebody would take me to task for the fact that the posts can break when you push them in like this and you can potentially get speared by a piece. Actually I was glad not to have to bang em in with the sledge hammer.

Steve, we were grateful for his help believe me. There is nothing fun about driving t posts into slate.

joated, I will try to get some shots of the finished project, complete with occupants today. I wanted to yesterday but as soon as we got them into it a thunderstorm blew in. We have been skirted by some humdingers this week. This one was no exception and we wanted to get out of it. I don't mind him using the bobcat to drive posts. I just figured I would get heck and I wanted to be proactive. There were a couple Alan had to finish with the hammer and they were tough. lol

Just one more great reason to have a skid steer. Of course I don't have one.

Jeffor, I am sure glad that we have one. I can't imagine not having one on a dairy like ours. The thing sees more use than any tractor...probably nearly as much as all of them combined.
