I keep reading, hoping to get into the mind of your antagonist. I got hooked when I spent a couple of hours reading the saga for the first time a few months ago, then realizing there was no end yet!
Makes me feel very lucky. I bought our property in November, and the property next door just sold a couple of weeks ago. The fence between is barb wire, and is on his property. I want field fence, because the dog manages the barb wire just fine. I talked to the new owner this weekend, offered to provide the fence and the labor if I could use his posts - and he was enthusiastic, will help to install. So, for about $200 worth of fence, we have a win-win solution.
