INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To get started, you'll need to start installing the fence posts, which will form the corners of the fence. Dig a hole that is twice the diameter of the post and one-third of the height of the post, using a posthole digger. Make the bottom of the hole slightly larger than the top to make sure you'll be able to seat it properly and securely.  It's a good idea to place the dirt you remove on a tarp, so you'll be able to keep it in an even pile for putting it back in and securing the post. Remove any large rocks and roots from the hole. If necessary, cut large roots free. If you’re going to be digging a lot of holes or setting a lot of posts, consider renting a gas-powered hole digger. This machine requires a strong helper and close attention to safety precautions to avoid injury. Add 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm) of gravel to the hole, spreading it evenly across the bottom. This allows proper drainage away from the fence posts during inclement weather, extending the life of the fence itself. Pea-sized landscaping gravel, often just called "pea gravel" is usually the most affordable and effective type of gravel for the job. Set a corner or end post into the hole, and add 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) of soil. Check the level of the fence post by placing a carpenter's level on at least 2 sides. When the fence post is level, tamp the soil to compact it solidly into the hole. Add another 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) of soil, check the level and tamp the soil. Repeat until you have filled the hole completely. Instead of filling the holes back up with soil, you can mix up a small batch of concrete and use that to fill in above the gravel. For an even easier time, there’s a variety of concrete specifically for fence posts, which can be added dry to the hole and soaked with a hose to allow it to set up quickly and easily. Brace the post plumb before filling by using 1" x 4" boards (4' to 6' long), staking, and screws or duplex nails. Mound dirt around the fence post at ground level, rounding it with a trowel, if you filled in around the post with soil. This will direct rain and snow melt away from the fence post, as well as help to secure the post in the ground. If you do use concrete, you still want to have a gentle slope away from the post. Fill it halfway with concrete and ensure that the post is still level when you install. Let the concrete cure properly, then fill the rest of the hole with dirt. Set the corner and end posts first, using your twine as a height reference. Continue on, repeating the steps above until you've installed all the fence posts. Before seating each one, double-check the precise distance between posts with a tape measure.

SUMMARY: Dig a hole for the first post at the corner of the fence. Install some gravel. Seat the first fence post. Build a mound at the bottom of the fence post. Repeat with the rest of the posts.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: " This very common, albeit somewhat informal greeting, is pronounced roughly like "cheh-sh-ch." Non-Poles may find it difficult to pronounce this word correctly. Following a "sh" sound with a "ch" sound is something that is almost never done in English.  "Cześć" is a little informal to use in serious social situations. While it's fine for friends and family members, some etiquette-conscious Poles may be offended if you use it the very first time you meet them.  "Cześć" may also be used to say "bye." " This is pronounced as "DOH-bry VYEH-choorh." "Dobry" is pronounced the same way as in "dzień dobry." The W at the beginning of "wieczór" is pronounced like a V, not an English W. As in English, this greeting is used when meeting people after the sun has begun to go down but before it has gotten completely dark. "Dobry wieczór" has the same level of formality as "dzień dobry." " This is pronounced exactly like the English "hey." It is a very familiar and informal greeting. You won't want to use it for formal situations or people that you're interested in maintaining a professional relationship with. It is best used among close friends. "Hey" in Polish works the same as saying "hey" in English. This word is pronounced as “vee-tahm.” The W in the first syllable is pronounced like the English V. The second syllable has a soft "ah" sound, as in "apartment." "Witam" is not always an appropriate greeting, especially to strangers. It can subtly imply that you occupy a higher social station than the person you're talking to. It is best reserved for when you are greeting guests to your home.

SUMMARY:
To say "hello" in Polish, say "cześć. To say "good evening," say "dobry wieczór. To say "hey," say "hej. Say "witam" when you are greeting guests and you are the host.
