Fence Posts and Chicken

 Started on the privacy fence on Monday! So excited!!! Having the posts in the ground will hopefully motivated me to get the rest of the boards stained, currently I'm a little under half way. We put the tractor to good use and we got a post hole auger for it which worked really well and allowed us to get the project done on our time line rather then renting in and needing to return in by a certain time.

The post hole auger, I must admit that I was a bit unsure about getting this for the tractor, as you can just rent one for a day...but having Jared eager to work on a project and have fun while he is doing it, without hurting his back is a HUGE win!

Our first post! Once again you learn A LOT on the first try! We got a lot faster and a lot smarter as we went. 

For the second post Jared used the tractor and a clamp to hold the post in place while the foam set. Yes, foam! It was so slick!!! It comes it one bag that is clipped in half, you take the clip off, mix it together and then pour it into the hole, wait about 10 mins for the foam to rise and hardened and then move on to the next post! Very curious to see how it works in the long run, but on the install it was great! 

Here is a video of the auger at work for those who are interested. 

Not much to see, but I figured I should included a picture of the hole...

That evening we had home grown chicken for dinner. I was a bit nervous to eat it, but it tasted just like chicken. 

Jared actually did all the "meat getting" himself that morning, I had absolutely nothing to do with it! All together we put 7 chickens in the freezer.  Which means we have a lot more hens then we thought we did which is really exciting as I am looking forward to those eggs!

Later that evening Nova decided that she didn't like the smell of the foam and proceeded to burry it 😅
