    One of my retired friends is going to help me out. He does construction on the side, and since I'm providing tools he said he would do it for 15/hr. I'll be doing some work ahead and getting things ready soon.

    I'm not afraid of work. I hope to get it done over a 3-4 day period. The most time-consuming will be the posts and the gates. If I can't finish it in that time I at least need to get the gates and posts in. I can do the rest.
    Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you're stupid and make bad choices.

      Do you have a hole digger or renting one?

      My DH rented one when he put up a fence. Said is was money well spent. $75 for the day.

        81 here. Didn't want to, but it's looking like I'll have to thanks to it getting dark so fast now. I was going to dig a several holes a day until we did the fence next week, but with the baby coming TOMORROW, and then having to work the weekend. I just don't think I can do it.

          According to my DH, it was money well spent.

          Congratulations
