Fences
In West Virginia, as I was learning the basics of farming, one of my friends referred (unkindly) to local methods of expediency as 'slack jaw farming'. The term, of course, stuck. But I admit that I have incorporated the concept from time to time. If you apply it to fencing, when you are on the run, it sometimes seems like you are repairing your fences with baling twine and spit. And if your baling twine is fraying, you better have some kind of tenacious spit..
Sometimes you have to do it that way. But when establishing a method or a construct, it is well to remember, it's easier (in the long run) to do it right the first time. Otherwise you may be dealing with a makeshift arrangement for a loong time.
