No ... Not that fencing!
It began with a call to diggers hotline to mark the lines. They came, they spray painted, we rented a 2 man auger and went to work.
First hole hits a line. No where near the markings from diggers hotline!
We call AT&T and diggers hotline and they both come back out. It was our AT&T line and since we aren't subscribers it's no biggie ... phew! And as for diggers hotline ... they suddenly found 2 lines that weren't there before. Two lines that ran directly where the fence needed to go.
There's no way this was going to be easy right?
So my amazing hubby and in laws dug the holes by hand and wouldn't you know they didn't find a single line in the process?!
Now that the lines were out of the way we could go back to using the auger and quickly finish the side holes. After manually digging the back 9, these ones should be a breeze.
Yep ... a few holes down and the auger gets stuck ... in the ground ... like REALLY stuck. Did you see that one coming?
About 5 hours (give or take), mounds of clay and one hole to China later ...
Sadly the day was now gone and so our fencing story is to be continued ...
But Luke held his first bug! Hello cricket!
He was a big fan and kept signing for more when the cricket would hop away.
