    Abby Containment

    You can't really control a Basset Hound, only hope to contain it. I'm planning on fence building this Saturday (10/28) at the house in Wylie. If you're interested let me know. I'll provide beer/food/football/place to crash. Should be fun. Hell if nothing else you get to interact with my dad's crazy redneck neighbor, he's a trip!

    I told you the redneck neighbor was awesome! I'll post some pics of us working on it and the finished results tonight. It's a bad dood. Thanks to Burris, Flem, Fred, and Jasonian for coming by and pitching in, wouldn't have gotten that much done it two days without you. Wrought iron fencing is sweet, you get to weld and stuff, it was my kind of fencing. Now I just have to replace the petty cash it took to get it done...

    alright now I need some details.
    Air nailer and circular saw are a must, I assume?
    Did you use an auger to plant the posts?

    An auger was definitely used. We planted 9' steel poles 3' in the ground. A string line and level are also a must. John the redneck neighbor got all the supplies from a fence supply place, not the cheap shat from home depot/lowes. A welder, cordless drill/driver for the cross tie brackets. Poles were placed 6 feet apart so 12' 2X4's could be used for the cross ties. If you have any other questions let me know. I was more the labor of the project, but know how it all went together.
