Down Wattle Lane v2 - Fencing, Gates & Heaps of Painting

Buying a bare lifestyle block has it's positives and negatives.

For example:

POSITIVE: As there are no fences you can decide where to put your fences and design the paddocks to your requirements.

NEGATIVE: As there are no fences, you have to build the bloody things!

For the last 2 weeks we have been working on the first 2 smaller paddocks and a new driveway entrance. 

The property has essentially just 1 big deer fence around the boundary, with 2 big deer fence gates at the driveway entrance. The deer fence reminds me of a prison, so it is basically going. It's much nicer to talk to your neighbors over the fence than through the fence.

I'm lacking some before pics, but this should give you an idea:

Operating smarter with v2, using a tractor to put in the posts. It's as simple as...Paint Posts/Drive into Ground/Wire Up/Hang Gates... Voila a new paddock!

First fences finished, just need to add some trees.

Below is the new entrance, we're just waiting on a new sign for the gate. Hanging the gate was extremely rewarding. The gates are handmade by a local lady in Kaiapoi. http://kiwiwood.co.nz/
