Building a fence

Absolutely his guard dog is in command

Progress is slow, it takes two trips to the quarry to get gravel and sand for three sections of the fence, sometimes I pour two in a week, with the heat we were having in VA it was a serious workout to dig trench and run the mixer.

But it is coming along nicely. Holland pavers were on sale at HD, got all we will need for $.38 a piece, we will use them to crown the wall and gate posts.

Be careful in the heat, it doesn't take much to go from feeling fine, to wiped out!!!

I know what you mean, Eddie, the heat eats you up fast.

Related to heat, I discovered coconut water this summer, great stuff to drink when you sweat a lot.

Done with walls, except for the gate.

I used carryall on my tractor to move the mixer and all material down the ditch for every section I poured.

Holland pavers will be used to crown those knee walls. I will need to cut some and still not sure if I should use outdoor glue to secure them or just cement them in place. What do you think?

Cement, I think. You put rebar in the posts?

Posts were clearance from a local concrete factory and yes they have rebar in them, originally made for vineyard trellis.

I think glue will get expensive and probably not last. If it was mine, I would use grey thinset mortar from the tile section of your hardware store.

Thank you, Eddie, I will look into it.
