We had previously drilled the hole in the cement with a hammer drill and a 1 inch masonry drill bit. Today, we installed the post and brackets. First, we installed the top bracket, which is what will hold the post up to allow the gate to swing. Then, we carefully balanced the post on the top bracket, lined it up with the hole, and slid the other two brackets into place to mark their position.

Doesn't it feel good to see it all set up? The fence was one of the first things we actually completed-- we really needed to see something built up, what with all the tearing down we were doing!
Looks good!
Yeah!!! We have soooo many of those project around here. I bet it feels great to mark one off the list!
I know what you mean about projects that take a while to complete. I've got a few of those around our place, too. Good luck with your tiny old house! I enjoyed reading about your projects. -Julia K
