When we had our site visit on July 29th, all agreed that the best location for our system was smack dab in the middle of the South pasture. Our six acre-parcel is split into approximately three two-acre areas with the house on the middle section. So we use the terminology of North Pasture and South Pasture. With that determined, our big "to do" was to get big rigs access to the south pasture. The existing 8-foot gate would not cut it.I did not want to just cut the fencing and then try to mend it back. Just too tacky. And, since we have been here, we have wished for access gates to both pastures from the street. A friend and I went gate and post shopping on August 1st and we went to work. Al dug the post hole by hand of course and we filled it with an 8" round post, quickcrete and water that same day. Then on Sunday (the 2nd) while Al was working I got the gate hung. One small task left to do is shorten the new post but that will have to wait until fall when I get my chain saw tuned up for wood cutting and tree trimming. We are very pleased with our purchase and contruction. And, we are ready for the rigs!!!
