Tap Enclosures and Trough Slab (Angle Grinder & Chainsaw)

(The before photo was taken in January)

Also in late March and early April I straightened the top tap and made a stronger enclosure of sheep yard mesh.  We then made a concrete slab and bolted the trough to secure it from moving, or being moved by the cows.  In the top west paddock I enclosed all three taps.  

I also got to use an angle grinder to cut the jaggered tops of the mesh, which was easier than using a hacksaw and pretty exciting with all the sparks flying.  The next weekend I also had a lesson in using the chainsaw, including how to sharpen the chain blades, cleaning the filter and filling bar oil and petrol.  I cut up two old fence stays.
