PUZZLE #25: Building Fences

PUZZLE #25
BUILDING FENCES

Enclose each oddly shaped field with the required word by writing the letters on the spots ("Posts") along the boundaries of the field. Words may be entered in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Since each "field" shares portions of its "fence" with its neighbors, you will find as you go along that parts of your next word may already be filled in -- a fine clue for you! As a help, one of the answers has already been supplied to you.

Once you've completely filled in the grid, the outermost "Posts", reading clockwise, will spell out a question that will lead you to the FINAL ANSWER.
