On Friday morning I called Labor Ready and booked Chris and one other guy for the day. <a href=\"http:\/\/redneckmodern.typepad.com\/redneckmodern\/2008\/08\/labor-ready.html\">Chris was here before<\/a> and did great work.<\/p>\n<p>The team &#8212; Chris and Anthony &#8212; showed up a bit past 9AM and by 11am, the fence was down and loaded into the truck for a dump-run ($60 at Contra-Costa-Waste) &#8212; their progress was amazing. By lunchtime (1pm), all of the post-holes were dug. by 3pm, the posts were set, concrete was hardening and the team was on their way to enjoy their respective Saturday nights&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sunday morning, I was ready to make a lumber run&#8230; I first stopped at Dolan&#039;s in Concord which is where I prefer to buy my lumber. Knowing their price was 20% higher than Home Depot, I asked: &quot;If i buy a few hundred boards, can I get a bit of a price break?&quot; While I wasn&#039;t expecting them to match Home Depot&#039;s price, 10% off would have kept me there. <\/p>\n<p>The response: &quot;Nope, that&#039;s what they sell for&quot;&#8230; One of the reasons I like Dolan&#039;s is that they load your materials&#8230; so I weighed the idea of spending several hundred dollars for this service. In the end, frugality won out and I headed to Big-Orange where I not only saved money, but got better lumber (really) and even got someone to help load the cart and load the truck. When I got home, I sent Dolan&#039;s a quick note entitled: &quot;Why I didn&#039;t spend $1000 at your shop today&quot;. While I&#039;ll surely be back there eventually, I might be tempted to stop at Home Depot first now.<\/p>\n<p>By Sunday afternoon, the fence was finished&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, below are some pictures of the progress and end result.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e2011168f91562970c-popup\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"SNC10715\" class=\"at-xid-6a00d8345166b769e2011168f91562970c \" src=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e2011168f91562970c-100wi.jpg\" style=\"width: 100px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e2011168f91583970c-popup\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"SNC10713\" class=\"at-xid-6a00d8345166b769e2011168f91583970c \" src=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e2011168f91583970c-100wi.jpg\" style=\"width: 100px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e20112796cee2428a4-popup\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"SNC10722\" class=\"at-xid-6a00d8345166b769e20112796cee2428a4 \" src=\"\/redneckmodern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/6a00d8345166b769e20112796cee2428a4-100wi.jpg\" style=\"width: 100px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After last weekend&#039;s gate-a-palooza, I thought it might be nice to finish off the fence project.
