Concrete has been placed in each post hole and NW we wait for it to be set.
We have the gate ready and the next step is welding. Need to cut the saddles and install the cross posts, then set the gate and finally cut and tie the barb wire.

The three posts are on the soil. The tops are5' to 5'2" above grade. They are straight and plum. Unfortunately the sun is a cooking and I will need to wait to port the concrete until tonight.
At least there tis progress!!

The heat really slows things down. I went out around 11am and started. I got at the post holes around noon and it took until about 730pm to get the three holes done. Hauled the tools out and started. Took a cool down break, Then went back to work. Then took a cool down. I stopped at 2pm and started back up at 5pm. The holes are about 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide.
Tomorrow I sledge in the posts about a foot and quickcrete them in. Now I am watching Grimm and relaxing. The allergies appear to be less as I wore an allergy mask while working outside and then took a shower when I came in.
I am hoping the allergies are finally on the down swing.
