Brings up the old question of the value of time. That is the laborer's
call. Takes time to cut trees down, limb, pile brush, cut posts to
length, perhaps split to quarter, haul to fence location, dig
substantial hole in loamy, sandy, clayey, or rocky soil, then set
solidly.
Metal T-posts go in fast, can be removed easily and taken with the
owners to a new location.
