Subterranean brick wall blues


Here's where we stand this evening. What the photo doesn't show is the hours of work it took Mike to dig out the old posts - there were some serious bits of concrete in there - and what looked like an underground wall along the back fence line, which he had to dig through to make the post hole for the central post. But the new posts are in, and the gate has been rehung (partly). One of the problems with the old fence & gate is that the posts weren't set completely solidly and the gate shifted with the changes in weather, particularly during very rainy seasons (of which we have many, in case you haven't noticed!) so the gate frequently wouldn't shut. Hopefully this will no longer be a problem with the new gate & fence. He's also changed the orientation so the door opens flat against the shed wall. When we get the new bike shed up, this will be important so bikes can be taken in and out more easily. Must order that bike shed soon, now that the fence is done (mostly done).
