[QUOTE="D2Cat, post: 1464423, member: 19322"] Since you're going to do it as funds allow, I'd suggest when you're in a conversation with just about anyone let them know your idea of the project. Being in the fence business you meet a lot of people and know a lot of people. As folks around you know your ideas materials will show up you can use. I use to do trenching. Many times I would go look at a job and there would be something in the way of where the line needed to go. Old barn boards, pipe, sucker rod.... Many times I would ask the owner what are we going to do about that pile of "stuff", and often they would want to to haul if off and pay me for doing so, or sell it real cheap. I came home one time with a 16' trailer packed about 3' high with old barn boards, 12-14' long up to 12" wide. My wife accused me of being Sanford and Son's. But I got about 3 loads just for hauling off. Got about 75 each of 3/4" sucker rod for .50 EACH and never been in a well. Got enough flexible conduit to wire two barns and gave the remaining pile to my farrier. It had the wire and boxes still attached. I just laid it out so the switches and boxes were where I could use them. Tune in to what's around and you can save a fortune. [/QUOTE]
