Fence Construction - Sit Spot #1266 - September 6, 2022

Loosening up Kansas soil with Ontario fence construction . . .

Ah, to elucidate:

Because I am using 3 different kinds of posts in a fence 

that is not only not straight and not lined up with any cardinal direction 

and the wires are not taut 

and all the posts are not straight, 

my perfectionist father 

is spinning in his grave 

loosening up the soil in his Kansas cemetery plot.
