The first fence project is squaring up and enlarging our original winter goat pen. When we first put it in, we just kind of followed the road and nailed the field fence to trees. It worked well enough but it wasted a lot of space and trees aren't the best thing to nail to.

This time we're doing it right by putting braces every 20 yards. It ought to make it a lot easier than putting cedar posts every 6 feet.

Here's one side of the new gate. Ready for fence!

We're also putting up a more decorative fence up along the road. I've been sick of how mangy things looked with all the splindly little cedars growing. I could never cut them down though because it would leave a big opening into the prop for trespassers to stroll right in.

My solution was to just start adding on to existing gate section and take it down the road one section at a time. We put in two or three posts, let the cement set, then come in a couple days later and do the slats, then repeat the process.

Out other project, the bridge, has been on hold. I've been overloaded with the fences and have a few technical difficulties to think through, so it'll stay on hold until I get those resolved.
