My friend and neighbor, Phil, who knows how to fix things properly, arrives.
The fence is braced and the post holes are dug.
The tall metal new posts are inserted and pounded into place. When the lattice or the fence itself needs replacing, the poles will still serve as a quasi arbor to support the vine’s arms.
And braced with metal straps.
The concrete is mixed and dumped.
Below is a shot of the highly skilled expertise and critical technical assistance I brought to this whole project.
VOI LA! Now I wait for rain and soon The Great Vine will awaken and spread her glorious leaves all over a sturdy , upright fence. And I will dream of savoring sips of fierce, intense, ruby-red grape juice come summer.

Nice project! Happy summertime grapes! I hope you will do a follow-up then!
(Comments closed on your American Sniper post below. Saw it last night to a packed theater. Applause at the end. A very important story well told. Heavy duty and unforgettable on so many dimensions.)
Haven't seen it, but in spite of a propensity to talk to empty chairs, the director was the right pick.
Roger More got this one as wrong as can be.
(It's not about your Grandpa, Roger)
And best wishes to your great vine, though I thought you called she a he a couple of years ago.
Happy dog parking!

Sewermouth, Hmm, wonder if I have a Bi-vine? As the ashes of one of my basenjis (a "he") was buried under the vine and all those little molecules are now incorporated into the plant, I have a tendency to think of it as a "he," except it does produce "offspring," so it's also a "she." Ah, well, gender confusing seems to be all the rage nowadays.
As for "American Sniper," not sure of your reference to Roger More? If you get a chance to see it, do. I think it's one of Eastwood's best.
Toonces, likely I'll do a harvest follow up though, with the heavy pruning, not sure if that will affect the number of grapes this year.
So many variables in addition to a hard pruning - rain, or lack thereof, sun, wind, feeding; I guess who knows, good luck! Keep us posted in the fall! I grew grapes once, but it didn't pay off all that well.....it's harder than it looks!
Without checking, Would you believe Michael More?
Michael More sounds better, Roger was aar first the saint, and then they took his name and gave him a number.
Michael did, Bowling for Colombine., and f 911, but Ah, each camp has its own flavor of coolaid.

Sewer mouth: Ah, Michael Moore. It's so fascinating how people are reacting to this film. It taps deeply into this country's dark heart, that's for sure.
