  Mathilde Marcotte Simnitt 10 foot long 4 inch in diameter pipe, pounded into and thru the limestone which is all over the 40 acres under the topsoil...with a pneumatic thing attached to a 1830 Case Skid loader....easy peasy...104 pieces of pipe done in a day...Today they weld the original re-rod to the new pipe by means of metal brackets... Dang Mr D and i placed all th original poles and t-posts.. Calli and Ashwill drilled almost all the posts and me and Mr D strung all the re-rod thru....took us weeks....These guys are taking 2 days to fix it all....We NEVER COULD get thru the limestone!!!...They fence all over the Flint Hills...It takes less time if you know what you're doing and you have the right tools!!!
