As many of y’all know I flew home last week for a ton of Doctor appointments most of them being PT related as my body is a fallen apart mess. For over a year and a half I have told my parents that this one section of our fence had gone bad and needed to be replaced but always was waived off… welllll nowwww they decide that it needs to be addressed and ASAP a couple of days ago.

I will give them credit they went out and got me the 4 x 4s and the 2 x 4s I was going to need but man was this still a pain. My dad is about to turn 70 and he wants to be involved in all this stuff as well so he was quick to make sure I didn’t do anything without him. Today I disassembled the fence and removed the concrete holding in the 4 x 4 as well which wasn’t to shabby. I tentatively have the new 4 x 4 in the same slot and have leveled it both side to side and front to back.

Just need to pack around some of the dirt (living in Texas by the Brazos River it’s really just clay) around the post and close up the hole some to add concrete to the post and let it sit over night. Throw on the 2 x 4s tomorrow and rehang the fence pickets to know this one out! There are still two other areas of the fence to be repaired to.

On the upside PT had done wonders because I didn’t have any issues today with removing all this! I wouldn’t have though swinging a sledge hammer would be pain free but here we are!
