So, I was getting sick of having to snatch at 3 billion pieces of grass in between pulses of electricity, so I decided to trim all the grass with a weed clipper thing before turning on the fence tonight. There was some really stubborn crab grass, and I gave it a hard snip when...oops, cut the fence in two. I looked at it in disbelief for a split second, but then I just started hooting with laughter. I mean, anybody could have totally seen that coming. Did I? Nope!
I called my dad to ask him what to do about it. He figured it didn't matter since the fence itself isn't a closed circuit, so all I had to do was tie the loose ends to a couple of insulators, put those on some stakes and put the stakes into the ground to make the fence taut again.
But JEEZ. My luck, when it comes to electric fences, is nil.

yup. i meant to post my "shocking" comment on the other one!
i didn't realize this was a new one about you cutting the fence.
sorry about that.
Haha that's alright. When I visited my other post, seeing more comments on it, I saw yours and figured you had done something similar to what you just told me you did.
At least the fence wasn't on when I cut it...that would have been interesting!
scary!
