Does anyone have any building projects going on?

 This year I plan on redoing the garden fence. I had made 4 x 8 frames that I 
used some left over welded wire to build a movable fence around he beds, but 
now these are starting to rot and they are kind of a pain to get in and out  
At our local park they used hog panels to create fences along the nature 
walk. It looks like a great system. The hog panels at TSC are 16’ long and 4 
feet high. I think the extra gauge of the wire will make it much stiffer than 
the welded wire I used closer to the house and less likely to be beat up by 
the dogs.

 This is an example; http://www.southwestfence.net/FenceImages/hogpanel.jpg

 I got the first hole dug, before we got all this weather.
