Well, the fence is finally finished for the most part. Just a few more sticks for the arbor and then build the gate and we are done with this thing! Here are some pictures of the fence. My folks got to come up on Sunday to help us wire it all together. We ended up using 16 gauge re-bar wire to attach the sticks together. In all, we used 44 8 ft. pieces and 616 4 ft. pieces for the pickets. In all, this project cost us around $25 for the wire we used. Not too bad if you ask me!!!!!! The greatest part to me was getting to work with my wife on this. She really worked her tail off to help get this done. She's something else!!!! It was also good to see the folks and work with my dad. Here's some pics from Sunday's progress:
The next step for us is to get our beds built. We are going to use pallets to build the beds. Also this week, I am going to get our soil tested. This dirt hasn't been touched in many years; back when it was a cattle farm. It will be interesting to see how good our dirt is.
We also will be getting some seeding done this week. We already have some tomatoes seeded that we got from
Annie's Heirloom Seeds. The kids have really helped with the seeding. We will try and write some on that later this week.
