# Project: Braxton"s Backyard Fence

One of the top "Day 0" priorities upon moving to the farm is securing a safe backyard area for Braxton. This project involves extending and reinforcing the existing pasture fencing to create a secure perimeter.

## The Vision

- **Aesthetics:** To match the existing pasture look, we are using **round wood posts** throughout. We are intentionally skipping T-posts to maintain the clean, "farm-style" look of the existing board fence.
- **Reinforcement:** While the existing board fence looks nice, it isn"t enough to keep a dog contained. We will be stretching **sheepwire** along the board fence sections to make them dog-proof.
- **Integration:** The new fencing will tie into existing pasture lines where possible to minimize material needs and labor.

## Equipment & Tools

- **The Manual Way:** Standing by with a standalone two-person auger for initial post holes.
- **The Dream Upgrade:** Future tractor purchase (likely a 30-40hp Compact Utility Tractor or "CUT").
- **Attachment Wishlist:** A tractor-mounted **auger attachment** for digging posts without the back-breaking labor of the hand-held unit.
