Thanks for the reply. I wish I would have asked these questions a little earlier before I started this project, but I have learned alot from the advice that I have been given. I have just about...

Boy that is disappointing to see the water coming out of the valve /forums/images/icons/mad.gif Sound like there was alot of digging involved upder the house. Boy I hated when I had to do that...

Yeah Steve, I guess it might be time to move those trees up to the house, far away from the fields that I will be boarding horses in. I did not realize that these trees could be a problem, even if I...

Since you say you have a bladder type storage tank this is what I would do:

Turn the power off to the pump. Open the faucet and let the cold water run until there is no pressure left and it is...

Please let me know what you find out, I have a small tree that is outside of the paddock, and I have 2 lambs, that have been running around free while I put this fence up. I have caught them eating...

Now that you mention it, I do remeber hearing that you should not use walnut shavings, what about the apple trees. Will they gorge themselves and get sick? Or are apples OK?

Thanks for the advice, I will have to make sure that it does not get too mushy.....

Thanks, the far bank goes up around 5 feet and is lined with thick brush, trees and bushes. I don't think they would be able to get through it. The side that faces the field is a little mushy, but...

Thanks guys, I have put the fence in between 5 foot and 5 and 1/2 feet, depending on the ground elevation. Boy putting this fence in is a real chore. /forums/images/icons/frown.gif I will be glad...

When Farm Family was still around I got 2 rod cases. These were about 2 feet long 4" cylinders, made of plastic, and had screw tops on them that had gaskets under the cap. When screwed down tight...

First the croc hunter, then Neil, and now you. It is an invasion /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif Welcome, one day I would love to visit, it looks like a beautiful contry, with a rich environment,...

We are in a tough spot, and we did not get here overnight. This economy is the result of years of allowing global trade agreements with countries who do not buy our products, and make our goods...

Yeah, I guess your right. but this section the fence is on both sides of the driveway, and I wanted it to look uniform and level. But I have also figured out that if I know the land is going to...

Thanks Guys, I really do appreciate the advice. I guess I am caught between having a fence that is absolutely level (top of post to top of post, and the toprail too), Vs not having too much of a gap...

Steve:
Your have just hit into my next question. I have the fence at 60", but now the land is sloping down about 6". If I keep the fence level then the fence looks an extra 6" high. If I allow...

Thanks for the advice... I will keep it at 5', do you have any feeling about the spacing between the 1x6 rails? It is currently a 4 rail, with about 9" between each of the rails...

Thanks, I was thinking along those lines, but the CFO says 'that is not a pretty fence, it is too high'. I of course said sure honey, (with the sweat dripping into my bloodshot stinging eyes). ...

Guys:
I have gotten my 8 foot long post (4x4 PT) and have set them about 3 feet deep. This leaves me with 5 feet above, and I have put on some 1 x 6 rails and the fence looks kinda high to me....

Thanks for the info, I have just gotten 30 4X4 X 8 PT posts and boy are they nice. /forums/images/icons/smirk.gif They are straight and have a lifetime warranty on them. The sawyer wanted $4.30 for...

Interesting, thanks for the reply, Since I only have one roll of it currently, do you splice it somehow when joining spools? What are the sleeves that you are talking about. Are the like a 8 foot...

Well, I had 2 horses on the property 4-5 years ago, when the fences were in good enough shape to contain them. Now the fences are a mess and I am working on reinstalling them. When they were on the...

alright, alright, you guys are right /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif I just called the home despot, and lowes and each of them wants $4.97 apiece, for the 4X4 PT 8' long. So, I guess my only other...

I am checking into that. I think that to get 4X4 by 8' PT posts is going to be alot more money than the 4X4 hemlock. I see that Tractor Supply has 4 inch posts for $5.79 each. Those are round...

Thanks for the reply, I did not know about the shake info. I am going to check tomorrow with another sawyer to see if they have any additional varieties of wood posts. I have been told that one old...

I am in Upstate NY (Saratoga region). The ground that they are going into is fairley sandy and well drained. I heard LOCUST was the best to use but there is none to be had at the local sawyer. It...
