Building a Fence - Post Hole Digging

Spring Project: Building a Fence

As we have young children playing in the backyard, it becomes important to have a fence parameter so no little ones decide to go wandering around the neighborhood.

So it's FENCE TIME!

The first step is digging the fence post holes.

Girls: can we dig too?"
Mom: Sure, I need to have strong girls, like pioneer girls.
Girls: But we're not strong yet
Mom: Well if you keep digging, every time you dig you get a little stronger
Girls: Every shovel I dig, I get stronger. I'll dig lots of shovels!

Ok, maybe the girls didn't dig this deep hole, but if they kept at it for a while, who knows what they could accomplish.

Are you working on any spring projects? If so, tell us about it in the comments below.

Awe, what cute little helpers you have there!! Love your pictures! My husband built a fence a couple of years ago for the same reason, and it's a lot of work! The kids would still rather ride their bikes on the sidewalk and play elsewhere lol. Sometimes we wonder why we even have it. :)

Wow, that is a big post hole!!

You have the most adorable helper ever! ♥

How big are the posts you are putting in? That is a big hole!

4"x 4" posts The opening of the hole is 12" diameter, it's much skinnier at the bottom. @ironshield

I can relate.
thirty years ago I perimeter fenced ten acres.
Using powerline poles cut to eight feet for fence posts.
I dug each post hole by hand.
it's still there.

10 acres? Powerline poles? Makes this job look like nothing! @ironshield

I was a big boy then.
some of those poles were over two foot thick.

They are so cute!

I helped my dad build a privacy fence years ago.... But we borrowed a friends tractor with a post hole digger... Much faster! Haha!
