Our July 4th Week-end-work, work, work

Our 4th of July week-end was a little different, no fireworks, just works. We left Wednesday morning and Dad worked all afternoon setting things up. Thursday he cut posts, measured rented a post hole digger and began digging. He worked all day long both days and only stopped to eat. Sidney and Bryon Madsen were in Pine with Natalie and her boys and Bryon said he either got to dig all the post holes by himself or pay for the post hole rental, so he paid for the digger. Benjamin came up to help Thursday evening and on Friday worked with Dad all day setting the posts in the holes and clamping them together. Everything seemed to go wrong, the nuts and the bolts didn't fit each other and it took 3 trips to Payson to get it right and then it began to rain so they worked late and didn't stop for dinner until about 8:00, exhausted by then of course and then Benjamin had to drive home for a wedding at 8:00 the next morning. The next day Clint and the boys came up to do the cement work. Jack and Melody came down to help and the work was done by 11:00 that morning so we were all able to relax for awhile and the fence looks great. After Clint left, Dad rested, I cleaned, and then we both relaxed for awhile on the porch and drove home that evening and had dinner at the Outback. So that was our 4th of July week-end. We appreciated all the help.
