The guy from the farmland at the back of our property asked if we'd consider a sturdy fence between our back lawn and their paddock. I did mention this to you in an earlier post but I imagine that you've forgotten. Anyway, for your reading pleasure: HERE IT IS
I guess that an appropriate music video is called for. How about Cole Porter's 'Don't Fence Me In' ... just kidding.
The current fence is a crappy wire netting one that is fragile and the cows and horses when grazing close almost push it over.
I agreed straight away and asked him to give me a quote so we could share the cost. He said that he has the timber from other farm fences that he'd taken down that he could refurbish. He would have to buy new fence posts though and that is the cost we'll share. He is going to do all the labour. I'm happy with that as I don't have a lot of confidence in my own fence-building skills.
** This post will be updated as progress is made on the fence.**

Great post!
I think we need more posts about fence building. Any, they're probably better than Jesus and his parables.
re your comment above I think that this bit of advice, given my you, is apt:
"PROOFREADING IS IMPORTANT!"
I'm pleased at this initial response to the fenceposts post. I'm sorry though that I don't have an update yet. The farmer guy has been working off and on between rainfall, digging fence-holes and removing foliage but at this stage there's nothing that will be able to be seen in a photograph or three. Please be patient. As Richard hasn't bothered to post for a while you may have to go over to Robert's blog to get your fix. Sorry about that.
Ha ha - that 'anonymous' was me. I cleaned up the computers today using Scanguard and it removed cookies and settings.

There you go.

I only did that to set you up for another mistake.
SUCCESS!
😁
Well, if the new fence isn't completed soon there's likely to be a horse in our backyard ... and some cows.
