The Deer Fence Progresses

We are in the edge of the Texas Hill Country on what is called The Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone.  The ground here acts as a big filter for the rainfall as it soaks down into the aquifer below us.  The aquifer is the main source of water in this area.    Beginning construction of the Deer Fence

Beginning construction of the Deer Fence

 

 

Once the deer fence arrived and we started construction we found how hard a ground can be.  Once we dug down to 6 inches or so, we were met with solid limestone.  As a result, we had to hire someone with a jackhammer to dig our post holes and set them in concrete for us.

As you can see, we finall made progress once we got past that.  Here the frame is set while the concrete drys on the door frame.

Glad this part is over with.
