    Great idea using the truck to roll. The fencing mini truck has 1000 uses good investment.

    I am also in NC and I'm calling it spring. Camellia trees are budding, birds are back chirping, roosters are fighting, hens are back laying eggs. regardless of what the calendar says, first stages of spring are here

    With the voice over in the beginning and the sounds of the farm and you working, it seemed like a mini documentary. 🙂 Loved the music at the end.

    Jason, I'm really liking the pace and tone and video-ness and all the editing you do. Voice overs, explanations and over all just listening to your world as you work. I jumped when I heard that crow caw. It sounded like it was outside my window hollering at me! I have cleaned out a few garden spots and cleaned up around the place, but I know better than to plant just yet. Still got a little bit to go, despite what Phil the groundhog has to say about it.

    I somehow missed this video Jason. I did see you put the poles in and make the H brace at one end. Freddy and the piglets! I like your fencing pliers. I bought my husband a pair of them for Christmas one year. If you use staples for your fence you have to have those. So fun to see the roll of fence get moved by the minitruck. Wow, the fence moved the minitruck! That fence looks really nice Jason. Thanks for this video Contreras family!

    Chock your mini truck tires to help keep it from moving. You can buy tire chocks where semi truck supplies are sold but i think Harbor Freight sells them too. With that slick grass, a chock might slip. A triangular wedge of fire wood works pretty well for a smaller truck and is easier to kick into the dirt.

    Had to smile regarding your Spring’s coming quip. Over in the middle of England; north notts, Derbyshire, Yorkshire, we have a saying that goes “Naer cast a clout til May is out”. ( never take off any winter clothes til the May blossom has bloomed). Some think it means til end of the month of May, but it’s the Hawthorn.

    You need to put a strand of electric fence along the top of the fence for when you get your cows and that will keep them from pushing on it.

    We have false spring going on here too! I live in CT right on the coastline. Typically it’s still cold this time of the year but the last couple of weeks we re having 40-50*days. Today will be sunny and 46*! But, while I m loving it, I also understand the need for the colder degrees and the snowfall. You and Lorraine should be very proud of the life you are creating. The steady work ethic of the two of you shows itself in the progress you have made since you moved there. Your property is beautiful. Your barn and house are coming along quite nicely. Also your vlogs are a favorite of mine. I ll never put up a fence like you are doing but actually learning how to do it is quite interesting. And you re right - it is quite peaceful and meditative to even just watch that process.

    I've even used a come-along and a couple of lengths of black steel pipe to stretch shorter lengths of fence. Fieldcraft. 🙂
    I wouldn't bother doing a wooden fence except for aesthetics, near the driveway entrance, for example.

    Wow Jason, the fenc look awesome and to see you did it yourself, alone. Smart idea using the mini to roll the fence. It saved a lot of hard work in doing so. You should be proud of what you accomplished by yourself. Your homestead is looking better with each project you complete. Thank for sharing your videos with us. The weather is tricky, spring like today and bitter cold the next day. The springlike weather will make you want to start planting in the garden, but DON!T. Fantastic job on the fence Jason.

    You have done amazing work well dun you. My advice is not use wood across the top or bottom .the animals will rub against it and it will break .thy love to scratch. I use barb wire at the top .all the way round. If you don’t want to use barb wire, you can use the wire you cut off from the horse fencing .use it top and middle/ bottom that will give you better support when animals Lean against it ❤😊

    Hi @sowtheland silly question, but do you need to go back and fill in the holes from where you screwed in the supports for the posts to keep them upright to prevent carpenter ants/bees getting in to prevent another infestation of the post? This is not a criticism, it's a genuine query. If any of the commenters could enlighten me I'd love to learn.
