Getting the mower ready

 I pulled the deck off the tractor last night when I got home from work. Heather helped me set it up on the sawhorses to make it easier to work on.

 All the normal deck maintenance items done: cleaned and painted, spindles greased and blades were also sharpened. It will only look nice until the first time I use it.

We set the deck back down and I put it back on the tractor. At the moment, the battery is charging. It had gotten pretty low sitting all winter.

More fence work

 We were able to get the back corner straightened up and braced today by digging out the outside of the post and winching it back upright.

 The old concrete collar was a little deeper than I remember it being.

 We had a rough time with this one. We could wiggle it, but were afraid of snapping it off like we did to the one in the back part of the fence.

 Then I got the notches cut for the bracer post.

 The corner post is a little rough on the outside and that makes it a bit harder to cut neatly, but we managed to get it cut.

The bracers are all nailed in. Time to clean up and re-attach the wire.
