Beware of unnecessary warnings.

@kibcol1049 Morning Col
I barely take note of necessary ones!

Have a good one my friend!

Don't know why, that brought to mind this Dave Allen sketch. He got a broken nose from that one.

@oheso @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 I know it is a joke but anyone on blood thinners should do just that.

@MissConstrue @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 this is correct, trees grow out rather than up from the base. Non-tree things that look like trees are liable to be different though
@cowman @MissConstrue @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 More than once, as a way of explaining this, I've asked others if they've ever seen an old fence nailed to a tree and hanging up in the air.

@chertridge @cowman @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 Ya know, I’ve lived in the rural south most of my life, and until this thread, I do not recall seeing fence nailed to a tree. I’ll be honest though, my fence line is so wavy, it looks like tide rolling. (Ok, it’s not quite that bad, but it is 30 years old and looks it. But the estimate to replace it was over 100k, so...I kinda wish I had trees to prop it up...cause ain’t nobody got six figures for a fence.

)@chertridge @MAJ1 @kibcol1049 @MissConstrue ooo that is a lot for a fence!! I'd prob leave it also!
Though I do have another possibly janky solution: cheap straps + some of those dog stakes. I put a level on the post and tightened until it was straight, at least this was my plan for the winter and it's held up so far.

@cowman @chertridge @MAJ1 @kibcol1049
That’s pretty much what I was gonna try for the posts, and reset and cement them in place. Then just do a section at a time, as I have time to build it. And yeah, it’s thousands of feet of fence, about half of which is inaccessible to heavy equipment, because it would break the irrigation. Since I had the inground pool demolished last fall, I don’t legally have to keep the property fenced with six foot barrier fencing, I may just take it out. I don’t care if people wander through my gardens, as long as they don’t bother the bobcat.
