Bye bye Auger #2

Oké so today we went full speed ahead. After a week doing a lot of other stuff because of the weather and our soured muscles we finally took our Auger #2 (the first one only lasted one hole) and drilled a dozen holes for the dog pen posts. It went like crazy and also with a lot of smoke.

Then we stopped because we first wanted to lay out all the posts to make sure that we had enough of them.

Also we had to get some more gas, and take the pup for the first time into town and visit our friend Patty (owner of The Delicate Flower B&B). 

After lunch we tried to get the Auger running again, but that didn't work. An thorough inspection by M showed that the oil was pouring out of the motor. Oeps, that was of course NOT good. So the Auger #2, a Honda 4 strike, is also broken by the first try. Really a bummer because now we have to buy another one and the dogs have to wait for at least 1 week😢 The story continues.

    Maybe you should just rent the commercial auger. I think Brad used to dig post holes with it. I will have to ask him. Might make the job easier.

      Yes that was also a option and we looked into that but because we are going to use the Auger more often we decided we might as well buy one. We just had some bad luck with them. Hopefully number three will do the trick.
