Need to fence my backyard

When I worked for Lowe's I did the exterior remodel/renovate/project estimates and I can tell you it's well worth the time. I retired from Lowe's and it was the last job I had with the company and it was probably the best. Here's what you get:

  • Estimate in writing of whichever fence design/material you want (chain link, wood, composite, iron, aluminum or vinyl)
  • The installers are licensed contractors, insured and have background checks
  • The price you get is turn-key and includes labor, delivery, materials- the whole deal
  • The fence will be placed usually within 24" of the property line on your side.
  • Any permits required are paid for by you, but included in the price and pulled by the installer.
  • 2-year labor warranty and the material warranty on the product. So if the fence falls over in 6 months because they forgot to concrete a post... call 'em, they'll be back

 

 

 

Thank you sir.  I will go to Lowe's tomorrow.  I emailed 5 companies and only 1 company got back.  They asked me for a land survey instead of coming out lol.

Honestly once we got started on my brothers it wasnt that hard. Id be a proponent of friends/family. Its good bonding time. We did his in two days and that included digging up 20 posts and moving them and connecting to new fencing

There are a couple aluminum fence ideas you should be aware of going in. Nothing bad, but it does effect price. Most alum fences offer 2 products styles that look almost identical, but in reality they have a slight difference. There are different sizes to the posts and pickets. For example, most residential alum fences have a post that is 1 1/4", but there are some with a thicker post, like 1 1/2". Same with the pickets, they may range from 5/8" to 3/4". Granted, 1/8 or 1/4" doesn't sound like much, but with the picket spacing less than 4" apart, it's a fairly substantial strength factor and price point.

 

If you're dealing with an HOA, please make sure everything is good with them, because Lowe's does not take any responsibility for falling within the guidelines of the HOA- that's your gig. Any way, good luck and let me know how the estimate and the Lowe's dude was, I'm curious. I was one of the first in-home installation estimators (Lowe's calls them Exterior Project Specialists) in this part of the country and was very successful because I knew the products I sold and I trusted our installers, most of whom I'd worked with for several years.

Just got an estimate from Legacy fencing.  They estimated it at $5,200 for 310 feet of fencing before labor.  Seems little bit too high and I question the 310 feet number.  I estimated my yard to be around 240 feet.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
