I am going to build a fenc and had a few questions. The most important is how to locate the property line. We have metal pins capped with yellow rubber on the four corners of the lot. We want to fence the back yard. It will come off the house and go to the property line(minus 6") and follow it to the back of the property turning andgoin back to the other side of the house. The problem is it is a walkout and the front pin is about 10' higher than the back pin. The question is how can I transfer that point to the base of the slopewher the corner posts will be. I have drawn it on a jpeg here:
Also, I have dug a few plants in lately by hand and a 2 ft. deep hole takes me about 10 minutes with sharpshooter and hand post hole digger. I was originally going to rent an auger and have friends help me to hold it and such. With this 10 minute dig in mind, I am considering just doing the 25-30 posts by hand. I would do them across a week or so. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but then that's nothing new. Am I crazy? (I mean about this)
Finally, I have never built a fence before, but have seen it done where they set the four corners and then use string to locate the posts in between. Is that the best way for a first timer? Thanks for all your help.
