Rammy's Ramblings

Well if he just straightened it I guess I wouldn't get too worked up over it, it is still probably within an inch or two of being accurate. I do understand, and agree with, your desire to have it in the one RIGHT place though.

Ok. Now Im more confused!

You can always delete any post you make so just give it a try. Maybe the forum needs a "test how things work" thread that people can just ignore any posts but figure out how to make things work.

Oh, I should ask, are you reading/posting with a real computer or a phone. I have NO idea how it works on a phone.

Right now Im on my Ipad. Maybe I should use my laptop instead. BRB.

It is illegal to touch a survey marker, what were the fence guys doing, why did they move it and why do they think they know where it SHOULD be instead of where it was??

I stood right there and told them to leave it alone but he kept on anyway. I am very upset about it. Thats why I called the surveyors office and told them. They told me not to worry about it. I mean , I told the fence guy thats where the surveyor said it was and you arent the surveyor. The rebar was in the ground at an angle and had been that way for over 25 years. Who was he to straighten it?

Been there, do it on purpose. Especially when a dead critter is in the brushpile.

Ok. I think I got it. Had to do some tweaking. The second quote of yours @Bruce didnt show up in a box like the others so I had to cut and paste the stuff that said Quote before and after. Just have to play around with the thing and get it figured out. Thank you for your help! Sometimes I have to just read something a few times and it finally sinks in.

And yes! I know its illegal to move the markers thats why I was so upset. Also the fact that it changed the fenceline. They did use a string and had it on the final marker that was still where it was suppose to be up to the tpost that was on the line so I think its ok. But still, when you are standing there and saying STOP! and he keep on I just wanted to smack him. Definitely will not use this company again.

Wait a minute... I thought you said you were exceptionally happy with them and were going to have them over for a cow BBQ roast later this year? As long as they didn't physically pull the marker from the ground and move it, it should be fine. I know "right on the line" is the goal, but an inch or two won't make all that much difference in the big scheme of things. Especially if it's at the end of a run and only one end. Sorry you're so upset about it though. I understand the frustration of telling someone no and them not complying...

Ok, one more post. Just being @Latestarter tonight. (Just teasing!) Went out to fill up the water trough for the cows and give the chickens fresh water and clean out thier buckets when I noticed one of my new baby chicks acting strange. Picked her up and noticed blood and feathers missing on her neck and head. She is also skin and bones. I think the older hens are picking on her and not allowing her to eat. I thought she was since I scatter the feed everywhere and put it in two different hanging feeders as well as a permanent one attached to the wall I built myself. There is also several buckets for water. I took her inside and put her back in the brooder and gave her some water which she immediately started drinking. I gave her food also. I put some bluekote on her wounds. I hope she is going to be ok. The other two baby chicks are doing fine. The are about 4 or 5 months old now and about the size of bantams maybe bigger. I will be very upset if she dies. Chickens can be so mean.

Yeah, I did say that. But the more I thought about it later the more upset I got. They didnt pull the marker, just pushed it up and straightened it. I am happy that the fence is done and looks much better. They did a good job. Just allowed myself to get over obsessed with the pin and them not stopping when I asked them to. I just get fixated on something and plow it into the ground.

 

[Bruce]

Yeah that is about the time they are big enough to be seen as a threat to the pecking order and competition for food. From what I've seen, when they are really small, like my 3 week old chicks, the older girls don't give them much notice at all.

That pin is likely really close the where it should be then, it was the top that got pushed, straightening it should have gotten it about right. Time to let it go. Still he should not have done it. And I have been in your shoes with the "STOP" thing so I do understand.

 

[Rammy]

Here is where it is now.


Here is where it used to be.
Im not worrying about it. I did say I was very happy with the fence and was gonna have them out for a cookout, but after I said that I kept thinking about that pin and let it get me all worked up. The surveyor told me not to worry so I wont.
