Soap is mean

Fences

 I'm so tired of fences.

We have had issues off and on for a long time with our electric fence. It was tangling in a nearby old, loose barbed wire fence. Took a lot of work to get that out of there. Then another line was tangling in barbed wire. Couldn't take that out as it isn't ours, but ours was the majority of the problem anyway, as this particular line was loose. We had wrapped electric wire around a LOT of wooden fence posts, as I was confidently assured it WOULD NOT be a problem, unless perhaps everything got VERY WET. Well, that is the problem we spent seven hours on yesterday, but we got all of it off of wood! It had also routed through some trees, and Son added t-posts to jut the fence out of line a bit in those places and go around the trees. 

It finally seems to be working! 

There are still a few things to complete, things that shouldn't interfere with the fence working for a few days, but that won't be sufficient long term. I'm hoping Son will be able to fix those small issues this morning before we let the sheep and goats out.
