As Good As New, Well Almost

I had to do some repairs on my farm gate.

The post on the left side in the first pic, the one with the bird house mounted to it, broke off at the ground during a windstorm we had back in the fall.

I finally repaired it a couple of weekends ago.

I had to dig out and remove the broken end piece first and fortunately, I was able to reuse the original post and hole.  You can see the post is now noticeably shorter but is solid and works!

I took the opportunity to clean and repair the old bird house before I remounted it but on the other post.

It didn't take long before a couple of wrens moved into the top nest and staked their claim!
