The costs add up fast, don't they? I'm using old fence wood, and left over house paint, so that has saved some money. But, it seems like I spend 30 to 100 bucks at home depot or Lowe's 1-2x/week. I've used 5 or 6 rolls of hardware cloth. The screws, nuts and bolts, washers, hog rings, latches, fence pipe, cattle panels and sheet metal plates all cost money. I refuse to add it all up. I don't want to know.
