All told, for my various fence re-buildings in 2014, I put in 41 railroad ties as posts. I swapped two gates with two different gates and put in four more gates. I rebuilt 600 ft of the fence along the road, and about 132 ft along the southern border when I put the corner posts and gate in that fence.
I used a good number of my salvaged boards on my corral rebuild. I collected these boards over the years and the piles were a mish-mash of lengths, widths and thicknesses. I spent a fair amount of time looking for the right boards - no sense cutting boards to length when I may have the right sized board in a pile somewhere.
As you can see I have also accumulated lots of barb wire. My old fences were 3 or 4 strands and my rebuilt fences are 6 strands so I have need of barb wire for the extra strands and to replace the strands that are old, rusted and brittle.
Daisy 'helped' me with many of the railroad ties. What a cat!
There is plenty of fence to rebuild next year!
