The Next Big Project for the Farm!

What happens here

The delivered lumber consists of numerous bundles of 5x8 round turned line posts and 7x8 round corner posts, all pressure-treated yellow pine. There are also bundles of 6-inch fence boards. The speaker explains that these materials will be used to build a 'four-board Kentucky bluegrass type fence' around the farm and the new pond, aiming for a functional and beautiful farm aesthetic. He notes that pressure-treated pine was chosen for its durability and ability to absorb the treatment better than softer woods like poplar.

Goal: After successful unloading, the speaker inspects the delivered pressure-treated pine posts and boards, discussing the type of fence to be built and the quality of the materials.

all right truck is leaving the wind is kind of calming down and we got a load a monstrous load of fence post now we were supposed to be unloading them right here and staging them kinda right out here in this parking area but it did not work out the load was too heavy and the ground was too wet for the trucker to get up the driveway so it wasn't his driving he was doing his best but he we get to a certain point he would start to spin so I told him exactly what to do it didn't work because it was just too wet so lesson learned you can't really do this in the wet let's go down there and we'll take a look at all the lumber that we have and we'll talk about this fencing project that's coming up here it's going to be a four board Kentucky board fence I guess is what you call it I don't know exactly what you call it what do you call it four board Kentucky like bluegrass type fence okay so we're down here the house is up at the top of the hill right here we're down here by the what we call it Creek or the other side of the farm and these are the posts so we've got several bundles of posts I think we have four or five bundles of line post right here and I believe these line posts yep they're a five by eight round turned post that's what we have down here and what we're going to be doing is fencing all the way along and I've got this question a ton so we have a gate right here to drive away we're gonna be fencing all the way along here right around where our new pond is right here and we're basically just going to make this place a beautiful beautiful farm you know when you pull in you're going to be just amazed like wow Matt that's what the goal is and not only to have a functional farm but to have a beautiful farm so right here all these are the fence boards and some of you guys might have opinions about this please share your opinions these are pressure-treated pine boards pressure-treated number one yellow pine everybody has opinions whether you use locust which is expensive and hard to get whether you use poplar which will fall apart in a few years in my opinion poplar is just a really soft hardwood it's just it just doesn't hold up like this pine this pine will take the tree just a little bit better and the next bundle over here is bigger posts so these are our corner posts these are 7 by 8 round posts pressure-treated posts and these will be used for when we make direction changes and also we'll be using this to help build some Corral systems for our cattle…
