Build that Fence

Last Saturday, the 25th, Seth had a family project for us.  There was some fence that needed built on his parents' place.  And we would be the labor to build that fence.  Later on this winter and next spring, the cows will be moved to our newly fenced-in pasture.  So, on Saturday around 1:30, we set to work.  It did sprinkle on us a bit, but we got most of the fence built in an hour, just in time before the blessed rain came.  Two inches in all.  But I digress.  Here are the fencing pictures.

The children were carrying the rebar from where Seth was cutting it to the pick up and golf cart.  

This was the first team of workers:  Seth pounding posts, Emmet driving the golf cart and me handing Seth his posts and insulators.


This is the second team:  Grandpa pounding posts, Eliza handing him the posts and insulators, Eden is providing moral support in the cab, Grandma and Ephraim driving the truck.  Yep, you read that right.  Ephraim is driving the truck.

Carrying more rebar to the vehicles.


Oh, and then here comes fun Uncle Paul to take the children for four-wheeler rides.  A bit more fun than building fence.  We were winding down with our jobs and they could be spared from their duties for a joy ride.
Ephraim tired of driving and wanted to hand Grandpa the posts and insulators.  

Taking a moment to feed the {non-existent} fish.  Don't ask.  Pretty sure the pond needs to be restocked with catfish.

All in all, it was a productive day.  We got done for Seth in one hour what would have taken him all day to do.  It was perfect weather to be outside and we did enjoy the work.
