Today's task was to (attempt to) fix the neighbor's fence before it falls on someone.
I THOUGHT that it was breaking because their dog used to slam against it trying to get to our chickens. It's REALLY breaking because some genius decided to lay several hundred pounds of rocks against the other side to block the dog from digging under.
The fix involved me digging enough dirt out from under the panels so the rocks they'd piled up would fall into my hole where I could reach them, then pushing the panel back into place and burying half the rocks on my side instead of theirs to brace it.
I only got 1 of 3 panels done, but frankly it's amazing that I was out in the sun as long as I was without suffering heat exhaustion. (At 70 degrees Fahrenheit, because yeah, my body is dumb like that.) I then had to drink almost 64 ounces of ice water and eat a tablespoon of honey straight off the spoon before I had the energy to wash my feet off so I could lie down, so maaaaybe I won't do another of those tomorrow.
