We had a couple of real rural kiwi blokes around to plonk in a bit of a fence for us. Luckily for them they had the right tools for the job. A tractor, a pile driver, and a bloody great metal stake to drive in the ground before even trying to drive a post in.<\/p>\n<p align=center><a href=\"https:\/\/coffeehouse.co.nz\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/tractor.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/coffeehouse.co.nz\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/tractor.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"The right tool for the job.\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So now we&#8217;ve basically halved the plot into two bits. The back bit, which can just stay pretty untended for now, and the front bit that we can worry about tending to a bit more. It actually does a really good job of putting a nice square edge on the lawn too.<\/p>\n<p align=center><a href=\"https:\/\/coffeehouse.co.nz\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/newfence_large.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/coffeehouse.co.nz\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/newfence_small.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"The new fence\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And we can also use the fence to support some wind-break cloth so we can start a garden along that edge too. That was kind of one of the major driving reasons to get some fencing done at all.<\/p>\n<p>And while they were here I got them to drive in some bigger poles for the chook run. So now we finally have somewhere for <a href=\"https:\/\/coffeehouse.co.nz\/wordpress\/?p=1953\">my most excellent door<\/a> to hang, once I manage to get some hinges and a latch thing. And for the actual chicken coop to hang out in too. Just have to get the important bits sorted, like wire netting and, of course, the chooks themselves.<\/p>\n<p align=center><a href=\"https:\/\/coffeehouse.co.nz\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/chookhousebeginnings_large.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/coffeehouse.co.nz\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/chookhousebeginnings_small.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"chook-house beginnings\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But at least we&#8217;ve started the year progressing things along.
