I can't believe its been two months since we started putting the fence up. Its no exaggeration to say its been exhausting but, I must say, I've really enjoyed it! Since we started, we've spent nearly every Saturday and Sunday outside from early in the morning til early evening.
We've spent our weekends digging holes, hitting posts into the ground, drilling bits of wood together, hammering nails and I've lost count the amount of times I've walked up and down the garden.
We're so closed to being finished, I can't tell you how pleased I'll be once its done! Not only will I get my weekends back but the animals can run around til their hearts content.
We still have some work left to do, including adding the last small stretch of wires and chicken proofing the gates. We need to add mesh to the gates to stop them climbing through and to put something that drags underneath to stop them climbing under. I'm also of the opinion that something needs to go on top to stop them jumping on top of it (I know just how mischievous they are!) but the boyf isn't convinced. He will be ;)
Here's hoping we're nearly there...
My friends chickens are always escaping over the fence. They tried to dig underneath once too! Cheeky things. Looks GREAT for a DIY job!
