Finished the back corner....

 Finished the back corner of fence, so I'm pretty secure from critters and any morons who think they can just waltz on through.  Might have even snagged some fur from one such critter. This weekend I stacked up the old wood fence along the edge for it to finish rotting, goal was to have it look a little like an old stacked stone wall from long ago, and the rate things seem to rot back there, it will be there a while. Here's the part of fence I put in front of the tree, so I don't have to look out at the barbed wire wrapped around the tree. Here's the row along the old shed, back to the corner. This is the back corner, with the wood stacked up along the bottom, keep them critters away. Still needs some red flags. This is the outside view, plants should I hope fill in to make it look a little better. Right there is some FUR, so barbed wire doing it's job.

Finished the bottom of part 1 of the back fence

 The back fence is going to be in two parts, as I need to get that back corner post in before I can finish the back, and also work on the side. Finished cutting through the fallen stump so I can get the fence through there, it was a chore, cut a wedge with the rip saw, block by block use a free screwdriver as a chisel, and get down to where I finished off with the bow saw, just had to get down to the rotten part, which that tree has been on the ground for quite some time, and evidently the ants didn't like oak. Might have a baby pecan tree back in that corner, so I might try to do something with that at a later date. As you can see here's the bush being trained along the wire, goal is to have the bush become the fence, so when the bush is along there, if someone comes up, they won't want to try walking through a tree. See the little red flags, cut up a shirt that didn't fit, and added it to the wire. Not sure if you can see, but between the posts I ran wire from the top
