As the electricity is once again working, today was spent installing the electric fence in Horse Field. We purchased the plastic fence posts and electric fence tape from the UK (as it was cheaper than buying it here, even with the postage). The aged FIL has three electric fence energizers, so at least we didn’t have to buy any of these. Afterwards I strolled along the fence line with my new electric fence tester, and found that I had indeed connected everything up correctly; the voltage is at least 5,500V throughout. I then connected up the hosepipe which will feed the old cast-iron bath in the field, and am pleased to report everything is now ready to receive paying guests!
