Tool of the DayThese made the job easier
Electric Post Hole Digger
This two-person digging machine is perfect for digging deep narrow holes for fence posts. They are available for rent at most Building Centres, and are fairly inexpensive. They save time and energy, compared to a manual hole post digger (but are less environmentally friendly). The model that we used is a two person machine, and is very heavy. As you dig, occasionally lift the machine up, to clear out the dirt from the hole.
Leigh's grandma has a problem with a pesky neighbour. Out of desperation she turns to the boys for help. It's time to build a new fence.
Leigh's Grandma needs help with a pesky neighbour. He's not only obnoxious but a bit of an eyesore. Nothing a new fence can't fix. The boys learn the ins and outs of fence building 101, as they tear down the decrepit old fence to replace it with a 6ft. high cedar one. This episode has the boys exploring different fence designs and budgets, and fence maintenance. But the fun really begins when Leigh gets to use an air compressor nail gun.
