How many folks you got working, and what are you using to drive your posts?

You are going to have shoulders like Arnold Schwarznegger

Doing some math... 80 acres is a 1/4 1/4, so that 55 acres would take about 3/4 of a mile of fence, if you weren't tying on to something already there.... My hands hurt just thinking about it.

Same here. I went out and looked at the new pen in the works, thought about what I need to do to finish it, piled all the cut plants and branches into one pile, pulled a few vines, then left!

So I still have to:

• Make a tin shed with a few roosts inside.
• Line the sides of the shed with this cool bamboo fencing we got a while ago.
• Close up the open side of the pen and add the door.
• Put up the netting & center pole (probably use a telephone post).
• See about getting new birds to put in the new pen.

Driving t-posts isn't that bad unless the ground is really hard and dry.

Any guesses what the ground is like at my place? We couldn't even get through it with a big rented power auger for corner posts. When I try to run electric around the pasture for the winter, the plastic posts break, just from inserting the metal nail into the rock hard ground. I have to hammer them with a hammer, cuz the little metal spike bounces off the ground. I've bent t-posts trying to drive them. And I have a couple in the ground that I would really like to get out, but they are in like it's concrete.

Then, when I water, I sink up to my knees cuz the bottom falls out.

The commercial guys that string the fence along the highways use some kind of jackhammer mounted on heavy equipment.

Anyway, hoping it's easier to drive posts where Birdrain lives
