I'll have anywhere from 2-3 feet of waste at every cut and usually plan on 5' of waste so I can use it around trees or other things.

As Mike said, just go vertically with staples down 2-3 rows and the fence won't be going anywhere fast. Wrap it as far as you can get it, staple the tag ends then bend them back over the staple and if you want over kill, staple it again. No big deal really.

I can't be of any help, we don't wrap posts here.

these were already wrapped and twisted, and the rolls were around the posts

I'm a wee bit confused. You have the T-Posts on the OUTSIDE of the fencing (as is usual when keeping animals IN) but the wood posts on the INSIDE?

So, now I have to think about the best way to add on to the fence to end it. Any ideas?....I know I'm not the only one to face the quandary....

The suggestions that you can staple it are good. When I used welded wire before, I put the staple over a vertical / horizontal wire connection. That keeps the fence from moving vertically or longitudinally with 1 staple. Don't mash them in too hard, you don't want to break the weld.

Looks like you are getting close to done!

Yes Bruce the Tposts are outside the fence and the wood posts are inside the fence. I'm not even half-way yet, but this wind and rain is holding me up at the moment. Tho, the soggy ground makes driving the Tposts a bit easier....
I'm still working with the CPs around the garden tho, so at least there is some progress being accomplished.

@Bruce here us a pic from the "Inside" of the fence, and the alley formed between it and the garden....it is inside the CPs. If I have to "Pinch" a point to keep goats at bay, then this will be a part of the poultry area. This strip here holds water, and have had 6-8" of water standing on it. The ducks will Love it when it storms here....
The winds are dying down some, but are suppose to increase some around noon. I'm hoping to get that other piece stretched in the morning before it does. We're not expecting any rain for the next wk, but temps going into the mid 80s. This should let me get the back line stretched using the van as the anchor point.
I worked on connecting and wiring up the CPs up on this one side this morning, along with clipping the Tposts on the fence. This afternoon, I got the push mower and blazed a trail thru the jungle in the garden. Outlining the CP path to even yet another "Design Change".....a Famous person once said....if She wants it, then I want it....so, I heeded the "Wisdom" and blazed away....
So, I'll be busy this next wk...gotta get things ready for 2 Families to stay for a wk....8...4 adults...4 kids...and us. I'm kinda excited....I get a new Grill out of the deal. We'll be headed to the house sometime next wk...by next wknd anyway. Some are willing to help...., but some help is not Needed....tho, Appreciated. These boys have no idea what Hard work is all about. 1 doesn't want to get his hands dirty and the other....sometimes ya wonder if the elevator actually does make it to the Top floor....
Anyway, they really aren't bad guys....they are true-blue "City Boys". I thought about "Setting them Up" a bit, just for the laugh, but when the one that "Got It", doesn't "Get It"....ya just have to shake-your-head....

Yes Bruce the Tposts are outside the fence and the wood posts are inside the fence.

I have nearly 400' of fence where every other post is alternated. One inside--one outside--next one inside--next one outside....

It gets cattle pressure from both sides, because it's the area I fenceline wean in so I wanted it to have strength on both sides.
