All the post holes got dug and posts set. Unreal. Five guys dug around 33 holes. It wasn't as easy as we thought. Less sand that expected, more rocks. But huge volumes of elbow grease was available and effectively applied to each and every hole.
The white collar types working alongside the blue collar types, reminded me of what all us must have looked like the day we started out at USMC bootcamp ... "what in the hoot have we gotten ourselves into!" But all persisted, prevailed and went home nursing this or that sore hand or back.
A couple of our strong-willed women, installed, plumbed, reset the soil and packed it in solid. They also had fun dancing around each pole, some sort of ancient initation rite they came up with...sorry I didn't get that on video. Only kidding.
We still have to finish installing the rails, but got a few up. Also the main entrance pole system is awaiting it's proper placement.
Enjoy some pictures...click to enlarge.
"Look ma, I dug a hole!"
"Hellooooo down there...I'd love some Chinese take-out!"Peace and shalom to all.
