Fencing....

[parlor_games]

I mean the type one installs in the yard...does anyone here have any experience with hiring someone to install a fence? And can you recommend someone in the north Puget Sound region? We want a 7' wooden privacy fence, nothing fancy, two lengths of about 15' each with a gate in each section. And we don't want to be cheated. Sigh....

Kjartan may be a good beginning point. He'd at least be able to give you a rough estimate and tips on selecting contractors.

I've built more fences/decks than I can count - and it's not that hard to do. You can even buy the sections pre-made, you just have to get them delivered and do maybe half an afternoon's work. But, barring the do-it-yourself route...

Have you tried calling the local Home Depot? They usually have a list of contractors handy, and if you get an intelligent enough sales clerk they will give you a recommendation (although they aren't supposed to.) I'm not sure about lumber prices anymore as I haven't been in that business for about 15 years. But I can easily give you sa list of materials for 30' of 8' privacy with a gate in the middle of each section.

Note: I build sturdy stuff, so some contractors think my materiuals are a bit on the hefty side. But when push comes to shove, my fences and decks last FOREVER.

A big fence?

I'm told it works better if you press your bare flesh against the dew just before sunrise....

I sincerely hope nothing/no one got into your yard. Is everything ok?
