well i am sick of deer eating my stuff and the bears tearing down my trees....so i decided to get serious and build a tall electric fence around part of orchard...plus i got a new toy for the homestead....a posthole digger.this fence is a bit over 7ft tall and 8 strands with some serious juice on it now.the deer about done my asparagus bed in. i cut and peeled all these locust posts from my woods ,it was hot nasty work project...but i had fun doing it.hope you enjoy pics.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I have not lived. ......Henry David Thoreau
