We had a professional out to look at our posts. Turns out everything that has been cemented was done wrong, so in order for it to actually hold the fence and not look like saggy jeans in two seconds, all the corners and ends need to be ripped out and re-done. In addition, some posts in a low spot will also get pulled up. Everything will be (re) cemented correctly, and he will put up the fence, gates, etc. This is a massive downer from the perspective of 1.) money 2.) time lost. But, I guess this is the learning curve of having a farm we've been hearing about. It sucks! The farm in WI had all the fencing done, so we haven't been though this, before. That being said, I am VERY excited to see it done correctly and have the peace of mind that it will look gorgeous and last "forever."
The cement people are also out, today. Which is good, because they cashed our check 5 weeks ago, and I've been about to lose my shit waiting to see something done. Penny went out and asked them if they would lay the pad for the tack room today, in addition to the aisleway. They said sure, and that is AWESOME, because at this point, I really feel like having some "instant" gratification will really go a long way towards feeling like we are getting somewhere.
Penny refuses to go take pictures of them working, so here is the truck in the driveway. :-)
On the plus side, it's going to look 100% amazing. Can't wait to see pics of the concrete!!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I get home before sundown one of these days, I will take pictures and post. It's totally gorgeous.
