Get it done, and go fishing or something. No use making a BIG project out of it.
Well? :???: Unless you like to make a project last. :cowboy:

Why do Y'all stretch the bottom wire?
I do the top wire.
Use it as a straight line to fill in the posts. Then connect to top wire to the posts and unwind the next to the top, fasten and then the next and next.
You won't have to fight the constant tangles you have to deal with when you start with the bottom wire. :cowboy:

Bottom wire because if you do a top wire it's always in the way of the post hole digger, settin' post, T-post driver, etc. Stretch bottom wire, drill post holes or set T-posts, and start stringin' the rest of the wire.
I sure like the idea with the rifle scope. Last year I had to replace a fence where I couldn't hardly see the other end and I used a theodalite (sp) (transit). Rifle scope would have been just as good and a heck of a lot cheaper. Thanks,
