Re fence posts. 2 to 3 feet certainly isn’t deep enough for around here. Within a couple of years frost heave will have the posts pointing everywhere but up twisting the fence. A minimum of four feet is needed here and usually deeper. Many people who don’t want to dig that deep uses 5 foot screw post type anchors and bolt the post to that. If there is some movement the posts can be adjusted in the anchor.

Back in 2014 when we had the coldest winter on record here I was having a sunroom added to our house in the spring and the contractor had planned on breaking ground in early May. He couldn’t do it till late June. The ground was frozen 7 feet down and he couldn’t get the massive screw piles to get down to the minimum necessary depth of 12 feet. The whole project was delayed for 2 months simply because he couldn’t break ground. Such is life in The Great White North.

Okay, back to oil discussions.
