Putting a gate in at Cornerstone (June 29, 2018)

So, as part of  a school project, River sent us Flat Stanley.  We're supposed to show him around the Austin area.  His first visit was with us to Cornerstone, for a look at barbed wire and a pickup truck, and the ins and outs of installing a gate.

Thanks to bungee cords, twisted wire, cardboard, and a pillow under the cardboard to protect the light on top of the cab, we were able to haul a 12' gate in Papa Tom's pickup.

Ta da!  The gate is installed.  The only tool we needed was a crescent wrench to tighten the bolts in the U-shaped gate connectors on the fence post.  Maybe you can see them?

Being that we were outside the Austin city limits, we were able to stop and let Flat Stanley choose some fireworks for the Fourth of July.  He looks pretty happy about the prospect of blowing things up!
