115 Foot Cedar Fence

I decided to replace the fence between myself and my neighbor. Since I had the excavator rental, now was the time to do it. I ripped out the old fence, cement balls, and railroad ties with the excavator. Once the line was clear I recruited my friend Steve for help. I had all the materials delivered and we got started right away. We set our string line and began at the back, post, panel, post, panel and so on. With all the previous work I had done ripping out the old fence and then we had rain and snow, we were working in pure mud, which makes everything twice as hard. Your boots hold pounds of mud, your tools get dirty, and so on. The second day, Steve recruited his friend Aaron to help us. We finished the majority of the fence that day and went for a nice lunch at a nearby pub. I let a few days go by so the ground would firm up a bit, and today I removed all the supports, finished the neighbors panel and gate, cut all the posts and put caps on. Just a note, I use a 2" reveal for my caps and mark two lines on the post with my square. Using my very sharp chainsaw, I cut the posts perfectly and easily. Then I pre-drill two holes in all the caps, then glue and screw 'em.
