Building a Fence

It's tax refund time, and we've decided to use our big chunk of change to build a privacy fence. Our neighbors built their fence last year, so after assisting with one, building one should be a piece of cake, right?

Not so much....

Actually H and my dad are building our fence and my sister's fence. H is on spring break, so they have lots of time. Daddy got here around 8 this morning, and the dynamic duo headed to S's to measure her lot and then to The Home Depot to rent the equipment. S and I (and M of course) went to the grocery store. When we made it back home at 10:30, they had just gotten back with the equipment (big machine to dig holes with, and machine to mix cement with). They lollygagged around for a while before going to Lowe's to buy the lumber, etc for S's fence. It was about 4:00 before they even started digging the holes. Mind you, they only have these machines for 24 hours. They may need to get some spotlights so they can actually finish on time.
