What is the origin of the wire fence with the wraps I need to learn?

It's called "Fixed Knot Fence". The wrapping is supposed to keep the wires from spreading under pressure. There are a few companies that make it (for example with good picture: here).

Good Evening !

Your absence was getting significant.
Was about ready to start looking for a yard sale of guitars and firebird stuff.

Friend was whining that silver was under $75.
Probably crapping himself now at $64.

Wow that's a project.
(I've taken the day off to recover from yesterdays power washing a utility trailer . Everything today looks like too much work.)
What is the origin of the wire fence with the wraps I need to learn? I can see exactly where the fencing pliers finish a wrap.

There's nothing like having the crow and the red wing black bird squawking at me while I'm closing it all up.

Titan is having a spa day at the dog groomer's.
I have no idea how that will work out for the groomer.
No trimming the coat, just a wash/dry and the nail trimming please.

Whether forecast was 100% rain-then 90%-then 60% then starting in 3 hrs-to a possibility today.
Wife counted the drops.

So I guess it's more watering.

Hope it's not a case of rain north and south of us, but not on us type of summer.
Note to self get pumping system hooked up from the pond to garden.

Good morning

Hen turkey snuck through the side yard the other morning.
Racoon been hitting a bird feeder.
Mice...danged mice anyways.
Birds been gettingquiet due to nesting. But the males sing territorial warnings still.
Wrens set up this year in the "flower" kennwl.
Lots of birdhouses and stuff but they like brush piles too.
That little male makes heck of a racket.
Humming birds like to swoop and zoom past our ears.

Chickadees been scarce. Still some round but likely nesting as well.
Soon when watering with the hose and sprayer birds will start charging the spray.
i've run the sprinkler a couple times and they've played in it. Well not play.. but.

Mice and rat issue.
1/3rds sugar-baking soda-corn meal.
Stir and put it in a container (plastic with lid) Cut a hole in lower side for entry.
They eat it, can't fart. Die
Another animal or bird eats the 🐀 or 🐁 they're not harrmed by them.
I find mice quite often just dead, driveway, shop floor, yard.

Hmm maybe.
Old boy with the sensitive belly hasn't been eating well.
He puked up a generous slice of carrot I didn't feed him yesterday...
I can't imagine his inhaling a mouse to puke later.
He does sniff around when one has been out back,.

I'll reserve your recipie though. Thank you.
I know just where to apply it.
Now that acorns are sprouted ; the mice should be more susceptible to feed again.

I see the racoon moved my trap cover/roof by the cubby trap set. I'll have to see f it stole a trap with a mouse in it.
