Garden Weekend

Well we were all prepared for the Garden weekend, but had a huge hic cup the fence Posts put in previously were in concrete so thick we had to hire a Kango Breaker tool..............my OH was absolutely shattered on Friday, so although once he had more help on Saturday we couldn't get all the fencing finished 90% done though and they did work hard........

I hate removing old fence posts Sweep cause they're always encased in masses of concrete,but saying that-i do put a fair bit in to hold new posts in place. When replacing my own fence few years ago,i hit something solid underground and presumed it was concrete,but after much digging-turned out to be a cows skull...Never did find the rest of the body though...

ps.Has your OH's hands stopped shaking from using the Kango..?

Well it wasn't the shaking, his hands felt numb! Still good job done, all my Neices Hubby who was helping my OH wasn't too happy as they had to divert the fence by a few inches and so it isn't perfectly straight............will show pictures tomorrow.
