Fence Post #5

The post and rails for the second section of fence are now virtually complete.  The post attached to the garage wall had to be cut at an angle along its length, like the one by the house.  This then allowed the rails to be measured in situ as before.

It also took a while to take down the old fence and remove the stump of the gate post from the metal post holder sunk into the concrete.  A combination of drilling and chiselling got it all out eventually, and both post holders were cleaned up and given a coat of hammer enamel paint.

I reckon to give everything a coat of wood preservative before final installation, especially as the post bottoms and insides of the joints hopefully wont see daylight for another 20 years plus!
