Pops came over yesterday morning and ran the post hole digger for me. I don't ask him to any heavy lifting these days but it makes him happy to get out and help how he can, especially if it gives him a chance to use one of the tractors. Once the holes were punched he went to the couch and I got busy. Cleaned out the holes, bedded the posts in ag lime, set the temporary braces, and called it a day. This hoop house is going to be a bit bigger than the old one - 10'x25' with 9' to the peak of roof. I'd like to have it finished by the weekend but I have a feeling that mushroom hunting may slow the progress just a bit.
That’s a lot of work! Glad Pops could help out. When we set poles and fix fencing, I’m always on the Cleanup Crew or KP if we have brothers over to help. I never get to have any FUN with the machinery...and that’s probably for the best, LOL!
I take that back - last Fall Beau let me mix cement with the take-off on the skid steer to do the mixing/turning. That WAS fun, actually! Just like making a cake. ;)
