solar electric fence II

walking backwards with the electric wire fence thingy

we staked in plastic stakes for the wires to go in at somewhat regular intervals down the field

important to remember to put the wire on the right side of the insulator. we were going to loop it around and head back the direction we came (to make 2 wires) so this was really important.

attaching wire to post. also important that on these posts the bumpy side is on the inside so insulators stay put.

twisting on the insulator

using the twisty wrench-y tool thingy to twist the wire - but have to be careful not to twist too tight or it breaks off.
 

like that.

you can see how we came down, looped it around and up, and went back.

another nifty contraption was this thing that held the whole spool right onto the post when you were done. then when you take the fence down (b/c this is temporary), you can re-roll the wire and re-use.
