Lastly we worked on the corner of the barn. The wood fence in this picture is from the 16' gate back toward the barn. This will be replaced with pipe fence next time I head down to the farm. the post at the end next to me and the barn is completely rotten at the ground...

Final look after all our work. Looks so much better already!

We finished off the week and my time at the farm with a great meal of steaks and venison sausage on the grill with baked potatoes and other sides. Now I had to go back to my job the next day so that I could relax and recover from all this work.

Looks like some hard work & lots of effort visible. All 4 corners rotten or just hit/miss & replacing for age?

Thanks, we are very pleased with the results so far. Not all corners are rotten. The south wall has 2 or 3 more posts that are rotten at the ground level, many of them have been scabbed together in the past from about 6' high down to ground level. We will only replace the damaged/rotten ones as needed. Here is a picture of one of the scabbed posts. The bottom portion is a cedar fence post and it is rotten at the ground...

Took in a job to help found this project. I am installing a complete wire harness into an '80 C10. Got all the old harness out over the weekend. Some of the wiring was scary bad and could lead to a host of problems. Glad he decided to have a new harness installed. I will hook up his trailer brake controller in a much more reliable way...There were some wires with 2 or 3 cheap butt splices in them...

Did get some work done on my new power train, got the heads on finally and got the transmission cleaned up ready for paint and new external seals. No pictures of that work though...I will get some tonight, and hopefully paint the trans too.

Pictures of the rats nest of the wiring...
