I started drilling the holes for the next run of fence when I hit a hard spot. It was so hard, I couldn't get past six inches deep. This was a new experience for me since I've had the post hole digger.

I checked the edge and realized it was all wore out.

My first thought was to re-grind the edge on it, but after looking at it, and the amount of wear, I changed my mind.

I just bought some new blades for my shredder, and have the old ones lying around. I thought the steel used in them must be pretty strong. At least stronger then what was on there and definiatley stonger then any other scrap I have.

The tip was worn round and not very long. I thought a hardened bolt would work better. Then I thought, if one would work better, then three will be even better!!!!!

I was debating about adding some more bolts onto the cutting edge as teeth. I figured it was something I can still do if I need to, but not today.

Now that I can drill holes again, it was pretty good going putting in some more fence.

Over the summer, I put power to this general location, but didn't know exactly where I wanted the lights at the time. I burried the line in conduit with some flags so I could find it.

The trench is from finding the line and running it to the lights.

This is the second street light. When the cement dries, I'll put both lights on, install the weathervanes and touch up the paint.

It looks very nice, Eddie, and also very unique. Have you seen the flag holders with the star? I'm attaching a picture of one on my deck. I think you'll see the similarity to your lamp pole and weathervane design.
