We were setting posts for a backyard fence when the client brought out fresh apple pie. The filling was so gooey that it got on our measuring tape and we kept misreading numbers. Ever had a tasty snack turn into a workplace hazard?
I was setting posts and suddenly had clam chowder everywhere. Had to explain to the client why their new fence smelled like seafood, right?
I was helping my dad with a fence job last weekend. He taught me his hand method for setting posts, saying feeling the soil gives the right depth. My nephew in trade school disagrees, pushing for an app to check ground hardness and depth. He calls the old way guesswork that could fail. Now we argue on every family job. I'm torn between tradition and new tech. How do you handle family differences in fencing methods?
