Pullin Posts

[LazyWP]

We have my grandkids here while they are on spring break from school in Kansas. So I talked them into helping me pull some posts so I can rebuild a mile of new fence.

Kyle is 9, and LOVES to work.

Jessie is 6 and is a great supervisor, but she finally got into the working part some.

Lisa did a good job of making sure the kids were safe, and the work got done. Actually, she pulled a bunch of the posts by hand, while the kids and I were goofing off.

I was able to get them to help pull posts as long as tomorrow involves some horseback time. :wink:

Looks like a couple of grand kids, LazyWP. You are a smart fellow to put them to work, and they will have fonder memories of their vacation than if you'd let them sit around to watch TV.

Are you willing to hire them out this summer? Looks like a fun family activity. Good for you! And great for them!

Somehow I knew a comment like that was coming. I did my time in Kansas, just glad to be back in the Sandhills.

As long as you have help one of the easiest ways I have seen to pull posts and keep your chain tight is to use some steel rod to make a loop big enough to pull your chain through so there is a loop in the end that you can just drop it over the post. One of our neighbors had one that I had to copy. It works as quick as anything I have ever seen and it never slips. It is also lots easier to take off. Think of it like a honda for a chain.
