Deer Fence Update

With some extra help today, the deer fence is almost complete. There are few sections that need some ground stakes, and there is a 24 ft section that needs to be added.

The fence was attached with a tool called a hogringer, made by Stanley. It was extremely handy for attaching the deer fence to the top and middle wires. The open rings slide in like staples in a staple gun, and a pull of the trigger closes the ring around the wires that are inserted in the opening in the tool.

The morning started out by putting all of the h-braces in place. The horizontal posts were put in level, which led to some unusual configurations based on how the ground slopes. There are several h-braces that do not look level at all, with respect to the ground, but a bubble level shows that they are very close to being level.

This is after all of the work done the day before.

Finally, the deer fence is all in place.

At the end of the day, the front yard Foch had started to unfold some buds.
