Roots Suck – Mini Privacy Fence Install & The Battle of the Auger

They said to use two people with a gas-powered auger, but old Ho Ho lives for danger. What started as a simple metal privacy panel install turned into a multi-round fight against massive, unrelenting roots trying to stop my progress.

The job?
✔️ Digging three post holes on a hillside while fighting elevation changes.
✔️ Battling the roots from hell with a power auger (and maybe getting tossed around a bit).
✔️ Keeping everything level and evenly spaced despite the terrain.

By the end, I was sweaty, exhausted, and barely standing—but the fence was solid and level. Roots suck. Ho Ho wins. Watch the chaos unfold.
