see these power lines here over the years the electric company comes in my
yard and they cut anything near the power lines and they just drop it and
let it sit and they've done this how long we've been here 23 24 years 22
something like that almost a quarter-century and for that many years
we've had a mountain of brush here and I own this property out here it goes out
400 feet and I've never done anything with it and I may never do anything with
it but I want to have access to it so this is what we have actually my wife
done most of this and because I was in charge of recliners and TV watching and
air conditioning YouTube videos I'm cooking eggs doing eggs so I'm putting
new fence up our entire yard is going to be a fence forgot what I was saying but
anyway this is two acres deep and I'm gonna replace actually all the fence in
my yard of getting replace but to start with I'm going from that corner to about
here and then I'm gonna put a 10-foot gate in there with four by fours and
cross braces and then I'm gonna go about another 20 foot and put a four by four
and a cross brace going all the way down here all the way down way down there's
where my gland starts going this away so from there to here this is the first
amount of fence we're gonna replace and I've got the fence and all these stakes
that are here I'm gonna jack them all up out of the ground and reuse them
and I'm probably going to sink four-by-fours every 25 feet and then
string barbed wire three strands of barbed wire above my four-foot fence and
maybe the deer will stay out of my yard
they'll figure out they can jump over the gate cuz uh I can't have a garden or
anything with deer unless I put you know a fence they can't jump over up anyway I
just thought I'd show you the very beginning I'll show you more as I go
along this is gonna be a lengthy project and it's you know the land that I bought
across the street from my house that's pretty much I got to pine trees and I'm
gonna take down and that's pretty much done over there I'm not gonna do
anything else to it except plant some crape myrtles about 25 crepe myrtles and
I know this is not exciting to you young folks but I I love working on my yard
and I was prisoner in a truck for so long that it sure is nice to have some
freedom anyway I'll show you some more when I get more dude there is nothing
easy about getting rid of barbed wire and I've got miles and miles and miles
of barbed wire I got to take down and get rid of and it's hard to take down
it's hard put in your truck where it won't scratch
your truck that's hard to get out of your truck it's hard to handle if you
get in there that hooks your clothes it hooks your gloves I'm gonna show you the
only way I've found the easiest way and there's nothing easy about it but uh
it's the least pokey here it is
look and boy I tell you a few these and you are using some bad words there's
just no getting away from it there's no handling it easy there's no easy way
they're gonna have roll it up on a piece of pipe and yeah whatever you've never
done this or you've only tried it one way I've tried this several different
ways believe this god I can't believe it you get near this shit and it's gonna
just hook you and poke holes in you now I go to that stake I cut them off there
and you know they're still dangerous and a pain in the ass but it's less danger
and a smaller pain in the ass so this is the the best way I've found to do it and
like I said I've probably got three or four miles of this crap to get rid of
because all this offense is coming down to but I got to get rid of the barbed
wire first old fences coming down new fence is going out all right then you
can see why I got a replace this fence this fence is probably 40 years old and
the barbed wires at least that old all these railroad ties have rotted out and
it'll be a big job it's gonna be a you know an expensive job but I'm just gonna
do a little at a time I have enough fence to do all of this all the way down
I don't know if you can see through the trees but it's about 600 feet there's
about three acres wide is what I'm gonna fence here and I want to put a 4x4 every
25 foot with a cross piece cross pieces braces
and right now I've got little barbed wire here here and then I'm gonna go
over to the phone pole with a barbed wire just so I've got this corner done
and that'll be done all the way down to the to the end there and that's gonna be
the section we replaced that's all I can afford I have the steaks I have the
fence I haven't bought the four by fours or the cement yet but I'm gonna get to
it when I do replace these it's gonna be similar to that but I'm gonna use six by
sixes and I'm gonna have my cross bracing I'm gonna have some X bracing in
between the three so I'll never have to do it again in my lifetime this will
last till I'm dead and gone there's a bow I would say a few hundred feet this
was a six strands of barbed wire and I only cut from that railroad tie down
here to the phone call that's 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 that's a hundred feet
times six so 600 feet of barbed wire jeez and I'm telling you I've tried
every which away safely and conveniently handle the barbed wire and there's the
easiest way is just to cut it in short pieces it's no matter how you do this
it's not going to be convenient it's not going to be easy it's not going to be
safe but this is the the only way I've found to make it the safest and the
easiest to handle now I got to throw that bundle in the back of my pickup
truck and go to the dump with it mmm it's out of my sight barbed wire is done
until we get let me give you a I'll show you where we're going way down there
where my wife is and from there to hear 600 feet and we have enough
fence and enough some of these T posts if they're not in the right space I'm
going to Jack them out of the ground and hammer them in where they need to go all
righty back to work everybody hey let's take a
little spin through my yard all that fence that I'm taking down I'm
keeping because someday I hope to clear my land out here and fence it fence it
in that away
let's go get the barbed wire
whoever invented barbed wire was working for the devil taking down and disposing
of barbed wire is almost as unpleasant as internet trolls
almost
