Day 2 of swinging the 10 pound sledgehammer. this time for the other half  of the stakes (8) it took about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Driving 8 stakes about 2 feet down into the hard dirt is a LOT of work and that's why I didn't try to do all 16 in 1 day. Not only is it really hot outside but I didn't want to over due it with my upper body. plus on top of that my hands would have been all messed up.


Reflection:I was really beat at the end and I'm still VERY tired out even though its been a couple of hours since I finished. There are a couple of spots on my right hand that I could feel starting to have issues. Luckily I was at the last 2 stakes and they didn't get any worse. Good thing it's all done now and I wont have to do that again for who knows how long.
