Love can build a bridge....

but only blood, sweat and tears can build a damn fence.

As most of you probably remember from a previous post, we had quite a storm a couple weeks ago in which we lost about a third of our back fence. When I finished the posting I was waiting on estimates from two separate crews to see about replacing the fencing all together. I am not sure, but I can only imagine that after a big storm rolls through, doing damage to fences all over town, that magically their prices increase because you don't really have any other choice but to pay it. The two quotes I got were for $2600 and $3300. I will give you a moment to process the amount of non lubricated screwing that I felt was going on here. Not only were these amounts well above budgetary constraints, they were also, in my opinion, highway robbery.

C'mon who doesn't love a good storm??

ME!! Nuff said. This is what we woke up to after last nights amazing storm. I confess, I love a good thunderstorm but this was a bit of ridiculous. I am pretty sure somewhere someone in the neighborhood was building an ark and gathering animals.
