Good evening.
After hand-digging twenty-eight 1’ diameter by 2.5’ deep holes, pouring 2,300lbs of concrete, working with 100+ pieces of lumber, hanging over 500 pickets, and hauling away the old fence–Project Fence is coming to a close. All that remains is to hang the gate.

My wrist is so sore from using a hammer all day yesterday that I can’t write with a pen today.
Also, the soundtrack for Project Fence has been Johnny Cash on endless repeat. I’ll credit @lmullen for prompting this.
Project Fence day seven ends with almost all of the exterior pickets hung. The longest exterior section is complete, at least.
Project Fence, day six. Pickets started getting in place this evening.
Project Fence, day five. All the posts installed and cemented, most of the rail hung.
Project Fence, day four. Hoping rain is mostly done for the day.
Project Fence day three, inside before the heavy rains hit. Over halfway done with setting posts.
I’m excited to announce Project Fence is now sponsored by ibuprofen.
Day two of Project Fence is in the books.
I’m falling back on my days as a landscaper and taking on replacing our cedar fence this week.
I’m already beat.
Dose 2!

Great thread on what we miss by using only digitized sources and how, perhaps, we shouldn’t read digitized sources the same way we read physical archives.
He’s a good sport.
