Day 2 of digging and setting fence posts. Wow... all I have to say is WOW! I am so sore. Since Lara was born the labor around the house has been light. Sure we are exhausted and worn thin from making the adjustment to parenthood... but lets face the facts. Before Lara was born I, along with uncle Kevin, were working like madmen to finish up the 2nd floor of the house. We were lifting and installing sheets of drywall, sanding for hours at a time, cleaning up construction debris, painting and repainting. Since the birth .... well the heaviest thing I have lifted was my 11 pound bundle of joy. Thank goodness grand pop pop Mark was here to aid with the excavation. It should have been simple. Dig a hole, set a post, mix some concrete and walk away. But no, rocks have become my nemesis. It isn't clear to me how 4 cubic feet of rock is removed from a 2 cubic foot hole. I assure you it is possible, however. Despite the opposition we completed what we set out to do. Next the panels have to be hung. After the digging ordeal, however, that should be a breeze.
