Well, it was a busy weekend for me. Friday afternoon I finished this gate to the mailbox (while it rained) and hung it before dark.
Yesterday I finished the stretch of fence from the start of the driveway to the duck fence.
Then I made the 6 foot wide gate "lawnmower" gate beside the barn and hung it. I took it off the hinges this afternoon and put the wire on it.
hugs, Brandi

NICE work, as always, Brandi!!
I know I keep harping about those cedar posts that you and Eddie have such easy access to, but I'm so jealous of those. And, I sure like the "Purina" checkerboard barn door! :thumbsup:

Mark,
Cedar posts don't get old.........they only get more character. I am sure Myers Cedar Yard in Lampassas would ship a few bundles up to you. What is so ironic is cattle owners eradicate them because they drink so much water. I, revere them the way my Native American ancestors did. My retirement property will be loaded with them. They do make a good cash crop every so many years. Just like Pine timber, but on a smaller scale. Smaller, not so straight limbs make good furniture also. I have buckets full of cedar sawings and dust I sprinkle around the crooks and crannys in my barn. In the house, I put the sawings and dust in cloth bags and hang them in my closets.

I'm not much for knowing types of trees. What kind of cedars do you have over there?
