Snow fences

i just got back from helping my dad put up a snow fence at my "neighbor's" house, who lives just across a couple fields. It was a very painstaking task, as the old wooden fence was jumbled up into a menagerie of twisted wire and broken wood. it took a couple hours of what should have only taken one hour if the fence had been in better shape. My dad and I put up his fence every year, and every year the fence gets worse and worse. Before longe, we will be putting up plain old wire. In any case, it had to be done, and so my dad and I, as we do every year, volunteered ourselfves to help out the old man. In the end we felt good that we were finally done, so it wasn't so bad, but i'm not looking forward to next year.
