Friday afternoon

I got off work, came home and changed into blue jeans. We're heading to Jena to eat supper with Milady's family. She has a sister in town and when some one comes in, the family normally gathers.

It'll be fun. I like my in-laws and enjoy spending time with them.

Tomorrow is more fence maintenance. The fence I put up four years ago, which I thought would last 15 years, needs to be propped up again. For those of you putting up wooden privacy fences, 4X4 treated posts are better than 3" thin wall pipe.

More later.

IMO, it depends how they are treated. If it's soft ground that's wet a lot of the time, they don't last much longer than steel if they are those "green' treated posts. If they are in ground that is relatively well drained they will outlast the steel by a large margin. If you can "get" creosote treated wood posts they will outlast the "green" treated by a factor of(at least) 5 wet, 2 dry.
