I need to wash my jeep one of these weeks...
 
You people wash your jeeps? I hit mine with a hose once every year or so. It's both a tool and a toy, kinda like the driver, so it doesn't really get much downtime.

Isn't it funny how people who don't wash their vehicles have rusty vehicles?

If I don't hit my jeep with fresh water at least once a month, the salt air rusts everything. I've already got rusty rod ends and suspension joints from my last deployment.

Hahaha. Funny how that works.
I wash mine a few times in the winter. Damn road salt still gets me though.

Sadly I'm not to blame for this. There is actually less rust on it than when I bought it. The PPO was a complete idiot however... wouldn't surprise me if he never ever washed it. He did bodywork with window screening, bondo (which looked to have been put on with his thumbs) and house paint. The PO bought it as a cheap spare vehicle (I convinced him to) in 2009 and I bought it off him in 2010, it's barely rusted since then and I've been repairing the structural rust a bit at a time.
 
I wash my Jeep from time to time, depends on how I feel about cleaning it. Right now there is so much stuff inside it, I couldn't fit more then one passenger without moving stuff.

You must have deeper holes than we do in the south. I only fit 1 bag in each hole. 10 foot posts, 4 feet in the ground.

When i put up my fence 5 years ago, we had to dig down 42in and each hole had to be measured by an inspector.

1 of my holes was 38in down because at 38 there was a big thick rock straight down. i was force to take my 5ft heavy pry bar and bust that rock into pieces. between my brothers and i going to town on it, it still took hours


you can see it in the pics. it is sitting ways higher than the others
 
I would have just put some more soil and a couple rolls of sod down to make the ground around the hole 4" taller till he left... like the inspector will notice :eyes:
 
I use 8 foot posts. I dig about 30 inches down. I bevel the hole out in the bottom and it takes about 150 lbs of concrete to get it set. When I originally did my fence we did 99 holes. I have now added another 11 to that. I don't remember much of the original hole digging party, I rented a post hole digger and a concrete mixer...and drank a LOT of beer. When the 91 mph winds came through last summer I only lost a few of the planks on one section.

I did buy a nail gun and a bunch of nails when I originally built the fence and still have nails left and the gun, so that will help.

A 6ft privacy fence requires no permit or inspection. Anything higher requires a permit...not sure about an inspection.
