Another Need to Spend Some Money

June 28th, 2012 at 07:13 pm

Remember how in the early spring I blogged about building a fence in the front yard for a play area for our boys? Well we've been using that fenced area. A lot. The fence connects to the our front door porch. The porch is about 80 years old. The constant use of the porch/fenced area has led to rapid deterioration of the porch. It is no longer safe. It needs to be replaced.

The bid for replacement is $4,500. I had $4K in my mind before we got the bid back, so it's close. We trust the contractor, so we're going with his bid.

He figures he can do the work the week after next, and it will take about 4 days. Until then, no fence for us.

    I'm sure it will be enjoyed for years to come, thus well worth the money!

    That's close enough, especially if you have some insurance that you can trust the contractor that he will do a good job. If the extra $500 leads to peace of mind, then it's worth it! Good luck.
