Fence day 04 

Fence construction, day 04

Here we see two errors -- one mine, one the hole driller's.  The closest one is where I mis-marked a hole location at 9 rather than 8 feet apart.  The other is where a hole was moved over by 4 inches.  The darker boards are recycled from another fence, and are straight 2x6 boards.
