More yet? The first post, for the clothesline, was cut and lag bolted together. An 8' x 6" x 4" was used as the main post. A 6' x 4" x 4" was used for the 45° crossbars and top beam. Cutting and assembly were snaps. Having two people sure helped. Only one of the two bags of foam cement replacement was needed. I did add crossbars below the surface of the dirt.
It was 82 to 86° while working, and in full sun. That part got to me. Oh, and a deadbolt for the garage was secured. The heat while even helping with that got to me. The direct sun, however, was what really trampled me. All good. It is being left to settle tonight. I am hoping to cut the extra from the wood down, to allow fast water drainage.
Tomorrow the other post, hopefully, will go up. Oh, I put the underground braces in incorrectly. They should have been on the west and north or south side, to allow resistance to line forces. They will still help, just not as much as they could have. Live and learn. The next pair will need to be east and north or south.
The ducks are doing well. Tomorrow, after sticks in case I can finish then mow, they will be let out. I can only hope they will not chase each other off, simply run off, and return easily. I will have the pool reset and food out for them. And, as possible, I will check on them. While muscovys can fly, I think my teens are too young. That will help them with some potential predatos, but not with bigger hawks and owls.
I was hoping to to more tonight, but I think I've hit a brick wall. A shower, putting up leftovers, and crashing early tonight, I think. It is down to between 71° and 72° in here and was well before midnight. That may be why sleepiness is hitting so hard and fast. A shower will finish the night. Good night.
