We got a lot of rain yesterday I came out to look at our post holes and that's three feet deep to about two feet filled with water there's so much clay in this earth it's not draining they're all kind of all kind of the same so that's fun so to watch and see how long it takes to join but I've drained this hole three times and you can see how quickly it's filling up again there's this huge rock that's seriously like Metal Corner Brackets nine or ten inches in diameter it's like a bowling ball normally the holes are like inches in diameter and sometimes it goes a little wider because of a few rocks sometimes they're kind of big every once in a while we get a really really big rock I mean look at how big it is compared to my foot yeah super fun there's the first post it's gonna be same height as the existing fence just behind the retaining wall so this is the jig that's gonna hold the posts straight and let me pour concrete down the chute getting ready for concrete got the poles in and formed. Large metal corner brackets, Metal corner brackets for wood, Heavy-duty metal corner brackets, Long metal corner brackets, Metal corner brackets Screwfix, Decorative metal corner brackets, Corner brace brackets, L brackets.

Outdoor screws Screwfix, Railway sleeper brackets, Screwfix railway sleeper brackets, Railway sleeper brackets b&q. We just have to level them and then put some concrete in there tomorrow getting ready to do six and then we're going to do seven moreover there these bags weigh pounds each so I can't really help him with that all right let's do this where's the knife make sure it didn't get knocked out of that's good yep looks good all right hole number doing that today the old fence posts and he had to move the gate inside there we initially wanted to continue the fence line from the existing post out to the street but then when we kind of looked at a little bit closer we thought it was crowding the corner and the front yard a bit too much so we're going to take the first post out and come off the second one to here and um dig a couple of holes for the posts around the gate we want a nice wide gate and Outdoor Screws we decided because these metal posts are hollow to put a paver at the bottom so they don't settle and sink into the clay.

So these two holes are pretty easy to dig that's nice they're two feet down but then in the last hole between the gate post and the corner post we ran into a little tiny rock it's huge it takes up the whole entire hole you can let go of that okay all right we measured the hole over there to the string three-quarters that goes down to the top of that tape which is where we'll cut the post and then I already measured from here up to the top of the post with the that's the height of the post above ground nice is that a special blade yeah it's got a metal cutting blade all right have you ever cut a metal post before nope okay.
