Diggin’ Holes
I went out to help my friend Ray put posts in for his new vineyard at Highland Valley.ย It was a great day, although we had Santa Ana winds.ย That means nice warm, clear weather, and it also means strong gusts of wind up to 35 mph.ย There were a few times we had to just stop what we were doing and try not to get blown over.
We had a few other glitches besides the high winds.ย After installing about 5 posts, the auger we had stopped working.ย Ray had to go rent another one, which gave us a chance to really enjoy the beauty of the area.
Once we got another auger, things went pretty quickly.ย There were 5 of us total, and we installed 48 posts in about 4 hours of work.
