Since this is where we'll be fastening the fence rails & stiles up and have a lot of ground to cover (about 500 boards to screw in), this is the most important one to show up for. I'm expecting this to be a 4 hour activity, assuming we have good turnout. Adam Hellman will have more details as we get closer to the date.

Big thank you to those that came out and helped out Sunday morning, Nov. 4 (Adam Hellman, David Hallerman, Simcha Karan, Travis Gaines, Carl Crawford, Scott Noll, Yoni Sendyk, and Jerry Blumberg), they got the fence posts set into place, plumbed up & back-filled w/ concrete & dirt. It was muddy, wet & sloppy so special thanks for sharing in that experience. Just look at those beautiful posts!
