Dave,

My wife grew up with a pet Peking duck, which was killed after a few years by a raccoon. I have free license to kill any raccoon, any time, anywhere. Yes, they love slugs. No duck for now.

So I moved in a few yards of crushed black rock yesterday to build a base about 6" deep.



Then I set my posts.


...and finally I dug my trenches to burry the wire fence.


I'll add a few more inches of black rock to bring it to 12" of depth. This material compacts like concrete after a few rains and some compaction.

Adding fence and building a door today. Well, time to get to work.
