The Fence!

Howse Post Hole Digger and Auger on tractor

Aaand, we are off onto yet another project How does one drill 140 holes 2-3 feet deep in this hard, rocky clay?  This is how you do it!  A post hole digger & auger, Bill's Fathers' Day present!  We purchased a Howse Post Hole Digger and Auger from Southern Farm Supply.  He's not thoroughly thrilled with it so far, but we'll see how it performs for him.  Hope it goes as quickly as we think it will.  As soon as we finish this project, we will be bringing home Kahn and Kheli, our Anatolian Shepherd Livestock Guard Dogs from Clear Creek Kennels in Mt. Vernon, KY.  I can't wait!  It will be finished none too soon as the baby chicks are ready to go outside.  I think we need to wait for the dogs to prevent them from being snatched up and carried away by the hawks.

Carpe diem, Lil & Bill

  1. Well, this one is going back today, Bill is not happy with it at all. Off to get a different one, hope it works as expected. Lots of holes to drill!

  2. I must say that Southern Farm Supply was extremely helpful. Not only did they accept the gently used digger and auger back, but they helped us find a better solution for getting these fence posts put into this very hard clay ground, at no profit to themselves.
