Rebuilding a Fence

 Last week we were able to go back to the Farm and do more service ... here we are getting our directions.  Their milk cow had a new calf and we needed to rebuild the fence to the corral so when it was a little bigger it could have a safe place.

 Our Beautiful Sister's putting dirt around the bottom of the fence posts - then water and then more dirt and then pounding it in with another board!  It really works... made them more solid before we nailed the cross rails on them.

 Elders working on another post - pretty primitive methods - but it worked!

 Elder Smith and Sister Brockbank shoveling dirt into the wheelbarrow to use in strengthening the fence posts. The young volunteers are all good workers.

 Pounding the bottom of the posts - see the bucket of water?  First time Sister B pounded she got mud splattered all over her legs - then we figured out to put some dry dirt on top of the wet and it worked great.

 We all enjoy coming out into the country and seeing the natural beauty of this land - and breathing fresh smelling air!  See Elder Smith and Ellsworth at the dirt pile filling the wheelbarrow again.

 The old rails on the ground all had nails in both ends - we had to take them out - and save them for later use.

 Here is one part of the fence getting rebuilt - we are pretty proud of the job we did - and the farm people were also!

 Wonderful young volunteers - lots of hard work and energy and skills!

Our attempt at a self timed camera photo - I had to run and just got there in time - and made a funny face!  Sure love these young people and serving with them...oh - and really love that old guy!  See the old milk can in the wheelbarrow?  that's what we brought the water to the pasture in - old things still are useful!
