It seemed that most were eager as the pack members quickly set themselves to the task at hand. She gave a light chuckle at Sebastian's comment. ”Your arm should be well enough Seb, after all it was just meant as a general guideline. But your right Hadley’s arm does make a rather long measuring stick.” Though the question provoked a thought in Anann’s mind and the solution suddenly seemed much easier. Grabbing a length of string Aann walked over to Sebastian. Here, give me your shovel. A couple hand’s breadth from the end of the shovel Anann tied the string tightly around the hand so it would slip. ”Dig til that sting is level with the ground when you stand the shovel on end in the hole.” Liking the idea, Anann quickly did the same to the other shovels. It still wasn’t perfect but at least it was closer mark than they had before.

After that, Anann helped get a few of the holes started, but after sometime she began walking around to check on everyone’s progress. She pointed some of the mistakes that had been made. Though there was nothing major, just a few misshapen holes or ones that had been dug too narrow. A couple were too wide at the top, and those posts would then have to be braced with around the base until the ground set in around them.

That had been easy the part, or at least easier than what was to come next as they began setting the posts in the ground. While the horses could be used to drag the logs into the place they didn’t have the rigging to use the horses to lift the logs upright, so righting the logs and setting them into the hole would be the work for the larger bodied canines at the build and filling the dirt back in around and tamping it would be best for those with nimbler hands and arms.
