Fence project

Here's another view.

Looking west.

I like to put a center brace at the corners. With the schedule forty pipe it isn't necessary. But since I'm the only one that I know who consistantly does it, well, I shall continue, on principle of course.

This is looking down the interestingly tight section. It was a bugger bear to dig. It wasn't fun to weld in. And I look forward to putting in the wire like getting a root canal.

Looking back from the other end at the interesting section.

I've got about a hundred and fifty feet to weld in and then it's time to put up the wire. One of the things that's different about the way I do it versus the way it's commonly done around here is I put all the work into setting the posts in line and set for height. Then when it comes to welding it in it's just a matter of laying in the pipe and it's ready, all fitted up and with a joint even Ray Charles could sew up. The only cutting is done to so that all joints in the top rail are over a post. I've seen lots of broken apart joints done by weldors much better than myself. So I cheat. I make sure the joint is not only welded but it's welded to the post, insurance for the insecure you might say.

This is the last leg. It's only about a hundred feet in length.

Remember this?

Check it out now after I've put most of those twelve yards through the mixer and then into holes in the ground.

This is a gate I did in the middle nineties, simple definition of my perspective of the customers

This fence project's customer has been great fun. I'd like to do something a little different. What I'm thinking about is the pipe gate with boulders inserted as accents.

Opinons?

I like the pic of the boots. Cow had her calf in the muddy part of a wet spring cow yard several years ago. I looked at the mud, looked at my boots - stripped all the boot, shoe, & socks off, waded in, hauled 120 lbs of squirmming mud & stuff out, and hit the showers.

Did you get hosed down before you pulled them duds off? I bet so.

I know my boss woulda had me by the short hairs over not doing a little prewash before I asked her to do the wash. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

This morning that darn clay was still sticky. Take a step, grow an inch, another step, another inch, just about the time you get to find out what all those tall guys get to see your realize your feet are too heavy to move. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
