Cutting posts....



My neighbour, Cody, has lent me his powertool - a compound mitre saw. Today I used it to cut the posts into 5 foot lengths. That will make them the right height for the fence. He gave me a quick run-down of how to use it, and what to watch for. The goggles are his, he won't let me use it without them.

I also chopped a short length off an old post to use for banging the spikes in. The first spike hit a stone, which meant I had to dig it out a bit. It's in now, with a post in it. I'll get the other two in before I put another picture up.
