Thanks Kathy....those stands are only about 12ft off the ground. Jennifer HATES climbing into and out of them.

Only 12 feet?? That seems pretty tall to me. I could see me trying to sit in one of those things and shooting a rifle; Id probably fall off from the blast.​

How about a dog that eats cat poop out of the litter box and then insists on kissing you - perhaps i could interst you in that?

and then

and then

!! It's a funny day, folks! Scott, WHAT did I tell ya, my chickens are out standing in the pouring rain, again.

Will this weather ever leave?!? And considering I just gave them all new feed in the run.

Just got back from the doctor's office. I apparently have a sinus infection, and a swollen throat. Whoo-hoo. That means more rehearsals lost!

Danggit.

Kathy, is it raining in MO today?


Cyn- Come back, we miss you! It's a rainy day! What's better than some

and Sdwd on a rainy day?? Come back!

Nella, don't worry, it gets better.

LH, do you have, or can you get your hands on some welded wire mesh? Do you have an abundance of medium sized rocks on your land? If you can answer yes to each of those questions, then you can make the repairs to the fence line without having to trouble yourselves with the condition of the ground. [i.e. frozen, muddy, etc.]

Make a cage of the welded wire, about 3 feet tall by about 4 feet in diameter. Stand that up like a cylinder on the ground. Take one fence post and place it in the center of the cage. Now, fill the cage with as large of rocks as you can find and lift easily. Be sure to keep the post centered as you fill the cage with rock.

Once each post location is caged and filled, you can then proceed with running hot wire, barbed wire, split cedar rails, or whatever you prefer [even I know that barbed wire and horses are a no-no combination!]

It's pretty labor intensive, but if the ground is frozen, or is so full of rocks that you can't even get a pick ax through it, these Gabion posts can often be the answer. We have tons of them in our area on account of shallow soil depths and solid sheets of broken basalt just below the surface. Trying to dig a post hole in these parts is like trying to nail jell-o to the wall!

Let me know if you need detailed instructions for making the Gabion posts. I'd be happy to send you some good links and such to that end. Good luck on the repairs! The sooner begun, the sooner done, and the sooner Jo can come all the way home!!!!

I'm an actor. It's a professional play I'm doing at a new community theatre. It's an off-broadway called Once Upon A Mattress. It's like, a parody of a kid's fairy tale, but this one is mainly for adults, considering some of the added themes in it. I do a lot of Atlanta acting stuff like this. I play the lead role, and a few cameos. When I'm older I certainly want this as a career, my dream is to be on Broadway, of course! We rehearse everyday for 3 1/2 hours in evening. I've been doing these things for seven years.


There's more to me than chickens!
