It was another nice day today, so we decided to do some outdoor work and get some projects done. One thing on our list: build jacks so we can build some jack fence this Spring and Summer!
First you line up the jacks then make the cuts so they ultimately sit flush against eachother...
Then you knock out the slices cut by the chainsaw with a hatchet so the grooves are smooth...
Then you hammer the two poles together, once they fit flush, with two 60-penny nails (6"long)...
...and soon you have a stack of jacks for building jack fence! :)
The horses had some visitors tonight for supper!...the Elk would peek their head around the barn, look around, then one by one jog over to a pile and congregate near the horses. We sat and watched them from the bunkhouse deck...
These elk sure are cute and fun to watch when they decide to come by for a visit!
Getting some tea hot on the kitchen stove after being outside all day...
...and we made a fire in the livingroom for Maggie so she could lay on her sleeping bag and warm up, too!
Wow! Never knew how jack fences were made. Good job!
