[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Got that barbed wire fence built.....

Posted: 10/4/2007 3:44:30 PM EDT

Here is the first wire in and stakes are laid down....

Our longest pull was 750 feet so I drove and the kids helped me by holding the wire....

Tying the wire to the stakes...

Pulling the last wire with a come-a-long....

End result near the gate.....

Me taking a break.....

Found a nice surprise, the well guy was setting up to dig the well....

On our way home we pulled over and I let the kids jump in a natural hot spring to have some fun...

Looks like fun... the swimming part that is.

What are you going to put on the land? I know you tossed the container idea.

Nice Job!

Glad to see the well going in now - in 20 years people will marvel at the fact you have a private well...

I bought a container but it is for storage only. Once the well is in I'll get power hooked up ($2400) and then the septic. I have all of it lined up and ready to go. Once all that is done I'm getting a Park Model Home from Laurel Creek in Phoenix.

Here is the container.....

Headed up there tomorrow afternoon. I'll make sure to hook a chain to my bumper and rip it all down so you can have the fun of doing it all over again. ;)
Which spring is that? Crystal? Where the road splits to go to Hiko and Rachel?

Is that fence to keep people in, or out ??........ I hear that water is radio-active. J/K

Fence looks good.
Looks like one of those Fall type of jobs. Definitely don't want to be doing that in July-August.

Good job on the fence.

Yep, been going that way for 10 years and didn't even bother to stop there till you told me about it a couple months ago.

While it is a spring, it's not really a hot one.

Here are the pics of the rim going up. None of the residents showed up which was a bit disappointing but oh well, we did it for the kids of the town anyways.
