Continuing unfinished jobs from last year: Taking down old fencing in the garden.

Four of these posts were cast in concrete, so I got some help from a strong arm.

The fence is fine mesh, good for a chicken coop, hope to re-use some of it.

The posts steel profiles and pipes of varying size. Gotta Mjölnir-smash the concrete off.

Sifted through where the fence was, as last time I found lots of steel, but here was only junk. Still good to have that fished out though. Rubbish in the bin, concrete in the pile and a lot of playing "plastic scrap or maple leaf?"

Goat pen #2 is also going down.

It was full of thorny fuckers*, which got cut down and piled up for chipping, although they don't even make usable woodchips due to the incredibly hard thorns that remain intact. They'll go through boots and tyres.

Maybe LV/EE want them for planting along the border? Couple meters thicket of these and no infantry will get through. Cheaper than barb wire and always stays sharp.

* Botanical term. Common name: Blackthorn
