They have been doin ok. Except where the mother in law knocked one over Can't put the fence too close to the main drive

The electric jack hammer was sure a lot more useful than the post hole auger though

My HF electric hammer has paid for itself many times over for the amount of post holes that I have used it on. I need to get a four foot bit for those deeper holes that my three foot bits fall short on. Don't know that I could lift the darn thing by the end of the day though.

I'm glad the post was popped back up. Looks like the "advert" post was removed.

I have been trying to decide if I should use all of the red cedar we have for posts. From comments in other posts, no pun intended, it looks like red cedar posts will last. Seeing a post from Twinkles from 7 years ago is just more info. And Soundguy's suggestion of using copper napthenate.

Later,
Dan

We have rocks all over the place. And, in the summer, the clay here is hard as a rock. Living in the middle of the classic "Gold Country"(I'm only 15 minutes form the gold rush discovery of Coloma), I wonder how those gold rush miners ever dug any thing up with just picks and shovels.

We have a pointed bit, and a spade bit. Pointed bit for rock, spade bit for hard clay.
