The Fence Bent Where It Shouldn’t: Book Four (It Was Supposed To Be Simple 4)
About
They said it would be simple.
Walk the line. Set the posts. Stretch the wire. Done.
That was the plan.
What actually happened was a slow, stubborn unraveling of common sense, where soft ground got ignored, trucks got stuck, a tractor made everything worse, and a perfectly reasonable fence somehow turned into something that looked straight… if you didn’t look too closely. Or at all. Or from any angle that mattered.
Welcome to a job that should have taken a day—and turned into a masterclass in doing everything almost right.
In The Fence Bent Where It Shouldn’t, a group of determined, confident, and wildly optimistic men set out to build a fence along the fairgrounds. They have the tools. They have the experience. They have opinions. What they don’t have is a stable foundation—or the ability to admit that might be a problem.
As posts go in slightly off, spacing gets “close enough,” and the wire starts to pull everything into place, one small compromise leads to another. The ground shifts. The line drifts. Corrections make things worse. And somewhere along the way, the fence stops being straight… and starts becoming something else entirely.
And watching it all unfold—stealing gloves, digging where he shouldn’t, and quietly making everything worse—is a blue-eyed Siberian Husky named , Bandit who seems to understand the problem long before anyone else does.
This is not a story about failure.
This is a story about finishing the job anyway.

If you’ve ever watched a simple project go sideways…
If you’ve ever said “that should work” and immediately regretted it…
If you’ve ever seen something finished and thought, “well… that’s not right”…
Then you already know exactly how this is going to go.
You just don’t know how far it’s going to go before someone finally says, “we’re calling it done.”
