Our stockade fence along the entire back of the property is getting old and decrepit. Today it gets replaced. This photo shows a inset of part of the cross-member. It is just rotting away. The posts are all steel T posts so those are solid. Just unscrew the old, screw in the new. "Just that simple"
It is a 135 feet of fence along my back yard. My neighbors are old (like me) but they are just not able to help do the work and I am unwilling to try it by myself. So we are hiring a contractor to do it. It will provide him and his crew some money.
I have already figured out when I get my federal money I plan to spend it at restaurants with large tips on food orders.
