Progress is happening on the deer fence! We are half way!! The North side is done! Half of the west side is done!
This morning started in the back corner with a view of what the deer now see from my neighbor’s property!
Last week, we got the north leg of the fence up. Thanks to our handy fence stretcher tool, the first 4 feet went up pretty smoothly! You can see in this picture that the first half of the fence is up and dad is rolling out the next roll of fence to be attached above to make a total of 8 feet tall.
I thought attaching the second roll of fence 4 feet off the ground would be the hardest part of this saga, but it turned out to be the task that produced the least amount of head-scratching and loud declarations that deer are difficult!
2 x 4’s held the fence in place, making the stretching and attaching almost easy!
Today, we got half (330ft) of the west side of the property fenced!
So far, the weather has been perfect for this project. We only got rained on the very first day of clearing the fence line! It has been quite foggy in the morning and sunny in the afternoon!
