Talked to an old timer who taught me how to read frost on posts
Ngl, I've been putting up fences for about 5 years now and thought I had everything figured out. Last week I was setting posts on a job in Portland and this guy who's been doing it since the 80s walks over and just says 'you're gonna have to redo that one come spring.' He pointed out how the frost was forming different on one post than the others, said that means the hole wasn't deep enough on that side. Honestly, I never even thought to look for that sign before. Has anyone else run into hidden clues like that when digging?

That dust settling different is another one he tipped me off to.

@miam75 that's interesting. So is he saying the dust itself is different, or just how it settles? Like, did he notice a specific color or texture to it that made him tip you off?
