[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1633953, member: 498"] I finished the loading alley this morning. 10 posts, 60 rails, and two gates. Got to celebrate the milestones when they occur. Only about 20 RR ties to set to get finished. And I am about 90 rails short of what I will need to finish so I will have to go cut them to get finished. One of the issues with having to dig post holes with an excavator is setting the posts. It takes me about an hour per post. Post hung off the front of the loader bucket. Is it lined up right? Off the tractor, back on the tractor, repeat. Then getting enough fill around the post to hold it. I am sure that two guys would be three times faster. And being 68 doesn't speed up the process.
