What's left to discuss? I think you covered it all - except for purchasing
34 8' sections of stockade fence + 35 bags of Sacrete at the local home
center, then trying to get it all home in the Jetta. (Not me, I swear. Never
owned a Jetta.)

Come to think of it, I'd vote yes - just for the anecdotes.

Proposed Charter:

Detailed discussions of wood fence building. Emphasis on stupidity
like forgetting to account for post width/thicknesses when calculating
distances (three times), not securing your mason line such that it
slips down a fence post and not noticing until you've nailed-up half a
dozen slightly sloping boards, consistently missing your 2x4 rails -
saying "screw it!" and simply driving in extra nails, buying a new
blade for your newly-acquired blade before thoroughly checking the
run-out on the motor and thus discovering that the bearings are shot
and you really didn't need a new blade, working in the dark with
little to no light, trying to trim the bottom end off of a gate
because you don't want to take it off the hinges and creating more
work for yourself as you contort your body to trim the damn thing in
place, waiting until 45 minutes before you're scheduled to leave on
vacation before installing a threaded rod stiffener on your wooden
gate because you figured, "aw heck, how much can it sag in a couple of
days?" and it's sagging like a mothereffer, the joy of using an
underpowered cordless circular saw to attempt ripping 2x4s, the peace
and serenity of blowing-out the side of a narrow board while ripping
it by hand with an improperly-set but otherwise lovely hand saw.

*sigh*

Or, more simply:
Completing a section of fence and two modest garden gates on-time and
on-budget, with the help of an able assistant.
