It was a beautiful Sunday morning and I couldn't wait to get started on the shed project. I really had no idea what I was going to do today, but I was ready to get going. We had put the shed in the back pasture behind the chicken coop and my thought was I would take down a section of fence, so it would be accessible from the garden area. I kept looking and the more I thought I just needed to move the entire fence 10' to the North. This would expand the garden area substantially and give me a new area to plant corn and pumpkins next year. I did some quick calculating and figured I need 5 railroad ties for fence post and I could pick those up after church. I also needed to get a piece of glass cut fix the old window and some glazing compound.

| The fence goes back up after moving 10' |
before too long it was getting close to 11am and time for me to head to church. I had my list with me and took the truck so I could haul all my stuff home after running my errands. I ended up going to Lowes and Big R, and I got everything I needed, including the 5 railroad ties, a 8' gate and 3 bags of cement, the glazing compound, tuck pins, an assortment of nails and an ice cream sandwich to hold me over.
I got home around 2pm and got started digging holes. By 4pm I had the 4 post cemented in and I decided I needed another 8' gate, so ran back to the Big R. I need to have the fence back up and in place by tonight or the deer will have a field day eating the apple trees and the garden.
By 7:30pm I was getting the fence boards back up and in place and I was pretty sure I would have everything up so the deer were not going to be able to access the garden and orchard area. I was starting to get a little tired and and as it started to get dark I decided to call it a night. I was very pleased with my progress and I can work on this little project all week.
