Mr. Fix-it...well, not quite

Daddy's brother learned of our unfortunate loss during the storm last week. He offered his handyman skills and construction equipment from his job to lend us a hand in fixing it ourselves. After 4 hours, Daddy, his brother, his parents and a few nephews, exhausted all resources and gave up on the project to let the professionals finish it up. They realized after getting further into it there was more work involved than they anticipated. They were not expecting the fence posts to be placed so far in the ground and surrounded by concrete. I managed to get a few great pictures of everyone hard at work...well almost everyone.

The equipment arrives

More help arrives...Mimi and Daddy at the first post, Junior's two cousins at the second post, uncle S at the last post and Grandad "supervising"!


One of four...They had the most progress on this one and it still wouldn't budge if you leaned into it.
