[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1635434, member: 498"] I got the last of the RR ties into the ground. I am glad that job is over. Having to dig the holes with a mini excavator makes for small graves for post holes. You can't just drop the post in the hole, straighten it up, and go to back filling and tamping. Holding the post in place with the tractor while trying to get enough dirt and rocks (more rock than dirt)around it to hold it straight and upright was a chore. Beings as the river is maybe 100 feet away I am certain that this was an old river bed at one time. Rocks the size of bowling balls and bigger were a real joy to deal with. Now I just need to hang 5 gates and 96 poles. I only have 62 poles on hand so that means 2 trips to cut poles. I will sure be happy when this job is done. Of course I see the next job waiting in line.
