Wired has some great suggestions for April Fool's (assuming they doesn't get you fired) - change your co workers Google language settings. Check out the article here (it's prank number 5). FunMunch.com has some other good ones - we especially liked the one with the hair dryer and the baby powder. ShaneMcdonald.com seems to have some more UK based jokes: Ring your friend and pretend to be from the local GPs office. Tell them they might have Newcastles Disease ( a chicken disease - don't tell them that ). No idea what they're talking about!
Anyway, have a fun day, and don't go too far! Keep it clean, keep it legal - we beg you!
We asked around before we built a fence, and some recommended renting a post hole digger while others said it wasn't that hard to dig the holes manually. The truth is, if your time is limited, you probably want to rent the power tool. Digging the holes manually wasn't too difficult, but to get started on the first few inches, we would pound the manual hole digger into the ground (usually with a brick), and then it would go smoothly.
Here are some links we wished we'd consulted before we worked on this project:

Replacing an old light fixture is a really simple job - don't be intimidated by electricity! The instructions that come with the unit almost always have enough information to keep you safe - just remember, switch off the circuit breaker you're working on, and you're in the clear.
