Yup... that's me.
Now that we are in a home, I spent today mowing, pulling weeds and spreading granular fertilizer.

Very nice!!
I prefer pulling the weeds versus spreading poison... I always get better results!
Yeah,
Got me a weed popper. It works great!

Ah the joys of home ownership! Spent all day yesterday tearing down around 15 sections of wood fence (and their wooden posts). Then I got the joy of mixing up 8 bags of Quickcrete and setting 15 new metal posts. :?
I've been debating rebuilding my fence. I've already re-built the fence once a couple of years ago after a bad wind storm. However, I've been thinking lately about re-doing the posts with metal posts. Anything different in that construction versus regular wood posts? (Besides the obvious?)Quote:

Yep. You can easily set 2 posts with 1 80# bag.
I've been fencing for three weeks, and it is FINALLY DONE! Three hundred and eighty-four feet of 4-rail white vinyl horse fence, forty-nine posts, three gates, and forty-eight bags of quickcrete. Turned out very nice, and miniature horse number one(Spot) just loved it when he got to run free yesterday, for the very first time.Quote:

I bet you will Merv. So you're close to getting the Granbury house done? Then it's back to racing! The fence sounds nice. I like those white fences. You need to host anothe Outlaw gathering so we can see the place. :D
You guys are making me tired already, and I haven't even fired up the mower! I think when put down the weed killer/fertilizer last fall, they forgot to put the weed killer stuff in it...I have more weeds than I have EVER had in the past... :cry:
Gotta get to work...
POS Racing has the answer to fence renovation. The next door neighbor is doing all the work :shock:
Why yes he is! 8) Sadly I have been doing the great move of 2005 for our world headquarters and haven't been able to give him a hand.... :(Quote:
