Renew/Repair of Cattle Yards

The previous owner of our property was in the timber business.
In fact, he had a mill which has since been turned into a very nice guesthouse. It is now on another part of the place as the original property has been sub divided.
So when it came to anything wooden, only the best and strongest was ever used.
This is reflected in many of the long standing strainers and posts used in the fencing but more particularly in the cattle yards, race and loading ramp. The posts and rails and other infrastructure are highest quality.
After 30 years of residence here it was time for me to look at this as weather, soil moisture and white ants had started to take their toll.
I don’t use the race and ramp at all but the yards do come in handy at times.
So I ordered a whole array of posts and rails to do the necessary repair and renew work of the complete complex.
My friend, Stirls offered to help.
Over five days we got the work done, even revamping and repairing the ramp and race.
It’ll probably see me out now.
