A few weeks ago the fence on the side of the house blew down. The left-side fence post had rotted and weakened. So today, Sunday, after my marathon bus tour, Matthew, Beth and I spent a long time and a lot of energy digging a 2 1/2 foot deep hole with a post hole digger. Then we inserted an 8″ diameter cardboard form into the hole, back filled around it, and inserted a new 4″x4″ treated fence post into the tube. We mixed 80 lbs of concrete in the wheelbarrow, shoveled it into the tube around the post, and found that we didn’t have enough. So off I went to Home Depot to buy 60 lbs more. We mixed it up and filled the tube to the top. Tonight it’s curing and then we’ll put the fence back together. I really appreciate both Beth’s and Matthew’s help today. I couldn’t have done it without them.
